Dr. Paola

OM 

Dr. P is Dr. Molina’s wife!  She  graduated from Temple University Korhrberg School of Dentistry and practiced dentistry until recently when she decided that her little ones and husband were her priority. A hard decision made with prayer and love! She is now at the office making sure things run smoothly and at home enjoying the beauty of being a mom to Gaby, and twins Matteo and Milan. Yes! They are the parents of three under three so in her down time (if any), Dr. P  recovers some sleep, prays, and enjoys her family.
