Dr. Frank J. Sapienza

Frank J. Sapienza, a practicing dentist since 1985, was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

The youngest of five children, he began assisting in his father’s dental office at the age of sixteen. He quickly developed in interest in technology in the healthcare setting, writing a dental practice management software package at the age of twenty. Later, he published a computer tutorial for dentists. 

Advances in technology, both in his practice and in the larger healthcare arena, continue to be his main professional passions. The proliferation of commercial DNA testing enterprises inspired an examination of the potential for abuse of this sensitive information, should the genetic databases be breached. 

In his spare time, he enjoys going to the beach, reading, playing his piano, attending concerts and visiting New York’s many museums. Occasionally, he fishes the temperamental waters of New York City, usually without success. 

He still lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Jeanmarie, a New York City teacher, and son Jonathan.
