Our story begins in Havana, Cuba with a young girl’s interest in medicine. One of seven siblings, Alba Suri, our president and founder, began her dental career in 1955. In 1965 she moved her family to the United States. Being an immigrant and a single mother of three, life was difficult; however, she began working in a factory. Due to her passion and love for dentistry, Dr. Suri would also study long hours for her dental boards well into the night. In 1975 she passed her dental boards and proceeded with her bold aspirations of opening her first dental office where her legacy began. Now, 44 years later, her family- including her daughter, son-in-law, nephew, and two grand-daughters, have followed in her footsteps and are continuing her legacy and passion for dentistry. In 2019 her granddaughter, Dr. Vannette Guerra Orta, and her daughter, Luz Guerra, are continuing to provide quality of care to our patients at West Kendall Dental Associates with the same passion and love that Dr. Suri provided her patients.
