About Dr. LaRocca
Dedicated to care that's thorough, honest, and personal.
Dr. Michael LaRocca earned his dental degree from Midwestern University. Originally from New York, he is honored to continue the tradition of exceptional, patient-centered care established by Dr. Collins and the dedicated team who have cared for patients in this practice for many years.
Taking over the practice is a responsibility Dr. LaRocca does not take lightly. He recognizes the trust and lasting relationships Dr. Collins built with his patients and is committed to carrying that legacy forward. As the practice begins an exciting new chapter as Lake Street Smiles, Dr. LaRocca looks forward to preserving the personalized care and genuine relationships that have always made the practice special while incorporating modern techniques and technology.
A member of the AACA, Dr. LaRocca is committed to continuing education and providing care that is comfortable, thoughtful, and tailored to each patient. He also enjoys giving back through volunteer dental work.
Outside the office, he enjoys golfing, working on cars, and spending time with his fiancée.
