Biography

Dr. Turigliatto grew up on a farm in Temperance, Michigan. She completed her undergraduate studies at University of Toledo, where she obtained a BS in Biology with honors in 2014. She then attended dental school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Interestingly, during her high school and college years, Dr. Turigliatto worked for the family business as a licensed bail bondsman. After dental school, she went on to complete a one-year internship in oral and maxillofacial surgery with Case Western/University Hospitals, followed by a one-year fellowship in general anesthesia with Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. She then moved to Pittsburgh, PA where she completed a 4-year residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Allegheny General Hospital. During her residency, she received full-scope training in dentoalveolar surgery, orthognathic surgery, anesthesia, pathology/reconstruction, facial trauma, TMJ, and sleep medicine.

Dr. Turigliatto is ecstatic to move cross country with her partner and trade cloudy Pittsburgh skies for beautiful Tucson weather. In her free time, she enjoys playing guitar, hiking, paddleboarding, spending time with her cats, and has a passion for exploring new restaurants and foods.
