Following his transition to part-time hours in January after 40 years of practicing dentistry in Albany, Dr. Christopher Maestro has now shared that he will fully retire from clinical practice at Maestro Dental Wellness this June. While this is a bittersweet moment for our team and community, we are deeply grateful for his decades of care, leadership, and service.

An update from Dr. Maestro to our Dental Family,
In December of 2024, I announced my transition from practicing full-time to a two-day-per-week schedule. While the transition has been a smooth one, and taking care of you continues to be as rewarding and satisfying as ever, I have come to the decision to retire fully, effective June 26, 2025.
