Associates In Family Dentistry LLC

                                   Michael J. Mucci, DDS
Dr. Mucci was born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania.  He received his B.A. degree from St. Vincent College, Latrobe, Pennsylvania.  He attended, and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, from Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois in 1986.  From there, he moved to California where he started a dental practice in Azusa, California.  While in California, he worked for the Los Angeles Dental Society providing dental care to indigent children.  He was a staff dentist for Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena.  He also worked with the California Board of Dental Examiners as a dental consultant.
In 2000 Dr. Mucci saw the light and moved his family, and his dental practice, to Fort Collins.  This was a move he appreciates every day.  Dr. Mucci is married to Janet and they have two teenage children, Dominic and Cristina.  Dr. Mucci loves the great outdoors and spends his spare time enjoying our mountains and streams.

                                      Eric A. Pettine, DDS 
Dr. Pettine was born in northern New Mexico and came to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado.  While there, he earned a degree in English Literature while still doing the course work necessary to be accepted to Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska.  After he earned his dental degree, he joined the Air Force and spent four years in Alaska before moving to Fort Collins.
After nearly forty years, Dr. Pettine is still passionate about his profession and is often heard to comment that he doesn't know why everyone isn't a dentist.  "It is the best job in the world."  His philosophy is that folks expect, and deserve, excellent service delivered in a prompt and caring atmosphere.
The ultimate family man, Dr. Pettine has been married to Ann for forty-seven years, and has three children and nine grandchildren. Dr. Pettine loves all outdoor sports to include rafting, canoeing, fishing, backpacking, camping, and just about anything else that takes him into our beautiful Rocky Mountains.  He is a professional fly fisher and during the summer months is a guide for Saint Peter's Fly Shop here in Fort Collins.  Yet, he would contend, "the fly fishing is fun but doing great dentistry for my folks is what really matters."
