Today we’d like to introduce you to Mark Limosani.
Hi Mark, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I don’t come from a family that has a scientific background, my mom has finance foundation and my father is an entrepreneur in the clothing industry. I have come to realize that dentistry is really all about blending science, art, and a genuine ability to change someone’s life by relieving pain or restoring confidence. During my training, I discovered endodontics, and I fell in love with the philosophy of saving the natural tooth whenever possible. It felt like the perfect mix of precision, technology, and purpose.
After completing my endodontic residency, I made the decision to stay to South Florida, where my wife, Valentina, and I were intent on building our life together. I started by working in the south-Miami/Kendall area under a great mentor Dr Joe Barros where I learned about quality oriented patient care. Over time, I realized I wanted to create a specialty practice where patients were treated not just clinically well, but emotionally well—where comfort, communication, and compassion matter just as much as technical excellence.
That vision led to Weston Endodontic Care, and later our expansion into Aventura. My journey as a practice owner has not always been smooth—there were long nights, setbacks, and the steep learning curve of entrepreneurship—but each challenge helped me grow both as a clinician and as a leader.
Today, I’m fortunate to work alongside talented colleagues like Dr. Lauren Tink and Dr. Karina Leiva, and we continue to evolve as technology and science advance. We’ve invested heavily in tools like CBCT imaging, modern irrigation systems, and surgical microscopes—not to be flashy, but because our patients deserve the best outcomes possible.
Outside the office, my greatest mission is being a husband and a father to our three boys. They keep me grounded, silly, and always motivated to be a better version of myself. My wife and I also share a passion for personal growth and positive messaging, which she channels beautifully through her bilingual podcast, Mamas Con Ganas.
If there’s one theme to my story, it’s this:
Invest in people. Nurture relationships. Lead with heart.
Everything meaningful in my career has come from that place.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I’d love to say the path has been smooth, but like most meaningful journeys, it’s been full of twists, lessons, and unexpected turns. Dentistry itself requires precision and consistency — but building a practice, leading a team, and balancing family life add an entirely different dimension.
In the early stages of my career, I struggled with the pressure of wanting to excel clinically while also learning the business side of dentistry. There were moments when growth felt slow, when I questioned if I was making the right decisions, and when setbacks felt personal. As we expanded into a multi-location practice, the responsibility grew — to our patients, to our team, to the families who rely on us. And like many small business owners, we faced challenges such as rising costs, staffing hurdles, and one-off crises that demand quick thinking and resilience.
But some of the biggest challenges have been internal — learning to communicate effectively as a leader, learning to trust others with responsibilities I once held tightly, and learning to be patient with the process. I’ve had to grow just as much personally as professionally.
What has made the road not only worthwhile but incredibly fulfilling has been the support system around me. My wife, Valentina, has been my steady source of encouragement and perspective, and my three boys constantly remind me why I work so hard. And I’m grateful to be surrounded by colleagues and a team who believe in our mission just as much as I do.
So no — it hasn’t been a smooth road. But the bumps are what shape you. They force you to grow, adapt, and show up stronger the next day. And when you can look back and say, “Every challenge was a step forward,” you realize the journey is exactly what it needed to be.
As you know, we’re big fans of Weston/Aventura Endodontic Care. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At Weston/Aventura Endodontic Care, our mission is simple: help patients keep their natural teeth for as long as possible—comfortably and predictably. We are an endodontic specialty practice, which means we focus on saving teeth through root canal treatment, retreatment, endodontic microsurgery, and managing dental trauma or infections. When someone is in severe dental pain, we’re often the ones they turn to for relief.
What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to both excellence and experience. We use advanced technology such as 3D CBCT imaging, surgical operating microscopes, and modern irrigation systems that allow for more precise, conservative, and longer-lasting treatment outcomes. Many patients are surprised when they learn that root canal therapy can be gentle—and even relaxing—when delivered with the right tools and the right touch.
We are also among the few endodontic practices in South Florida able to provide in-house moderate and deep sedation, making care accessible for patients with significant anxiety, medical complexities, or extensive treatment needs.
But beyond technology, our culture is what truly defines us. We believe patients deserve to feel cared for, heard, and respected. Every member of our team—from the doctors to the front desk—shares that philosophy. We take time to explain treatment, answer questions, and ensure that even the most worried patients feel safe in our hands.
Brand-wise, what makes us most proud is the trust we’ve earned—not only from the community, but from fellow dentists who trust us with their patients and even with their own family members. We are continuously invited to lecture and teach other dental professionals, helping elevate care across the region.
As we grow—most recently with the opening of our new ocean-themed Aventura location—our goal remains unchanged: to deliver world-class specialty care in an environment where people feel genuinely cared for. At Weston/Aventura Endodontic Care, saving smiles is just the beginning—we’re here to make the entire experience a positive one.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters most to me is leaving a positive impact on the people whose lives I intersect with—whether that’s a patient in pain, a team member looking to grow, or one of my children learning how to navigate the world. Dentistry is my profession, but connection is my purpose.
As a root canal specialist, I meet many people on their worst day—anxious, hurting, unsure of what comes next. To be trusted in that moment is something I don’t take lightly. Helping someone feel relief, comfort, and confidence again is incredibly fulfilling, and it reminds me how meaningful small acts of care can be.
That mindset extends to my team as well. I believe in creating a healthy workplace where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to do their best work. If I can contribute to someone’s personal or professional growth—even in a small way—that’s success to me.
Above all, my family is my “why.” My wife and our three boys inspire me to be better every day. They remind me that achievement only truly matters if you can share it with the people you love—and if you are growing into a better, kinder version of yourself along the way.
So, what matters most?
People. Growth. Purpose.
Those three values guide how I show up as a doctor, a leader, a husband, and a father. And they’re the reason I wake up every day grateful for the opportunity to make a difference.
