Dr. Joshua Ferraro
Dentist
Dr. Ferraro is a true Spartan fan. After graduating from Michigan State University in 2009 with a degree in Finance, Dr. Ferraro completed his dental education at the University of Detroit Mercy in 2013. After graduating, he wanted to return to the East Lansing area and soon joined Schaefer Dental Group to begin his career as an associate under Dr. Schaefer. He was drawn to the group due to the great patients and the quality care they receive but was also impressed with the up-to-date techniques and technology that the group focuses on. He enjoys all aspects of restorative dentistry but focuses on cosmetics, oral surgery, endodontics, implants, and orthodontics. After a stint as the lead associate in the Lansing office, Dr. Ferraro and Dr. Schaefer partnered up and began the Okemos location in 2017. In his free time, Dr. Ferraro enjoys spending time with his wife Christine, son Simon, daughter Daisy, and dogs Luna and Terra.
