Dr. Verduci then graduated Cum Laude from Rider College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 1989. While in college, Dr. Verduci was a distinct member of the Tri Beta National Biology Honor Society. He also visited and spent time in local dental practices observing various dentists.

He is proud and honored to practice in his hometown and to serve the people of his community. Dr. Verduci, an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), also participates in lobbying on behalf of the AAO for specific issues which affect the profession of Orthodontics as well as issues which affect the patient’s ability to receive and afford orthodontic care. Dr. Verduci has visited Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C frequently and met with state congressman and their staff members to discuss important issues such as “maintaining flexible spending account maximums” so that families can set aside money from their paychecks (tax free) allowing them to utilize such funds for their annual health care expenses, such as orthodontic treatment for their children.

Dr. Verduci has established his orthodontic practice in a manner in which he provides individualized, personalized care. According to Dr. Verduci, we are all unique individuals who require personalized attention. Dr. Verduci believes that, similar to children’s education and athletic experiences, orthodontic treatment is a true family experience. This orthodontic experience involves all the members of the “Orthodontic Team” specifically: Dr. Verduci, his staff, the patient’s general dentist, the patient and most importantly the patient’s parents. Through hard work, determination and team effort beautiful smiles can be achieved and maintained for a lifetime.
