While at Ithaca College, he played on the basketball team and enjoyed hobbies like playing tennis, the trumpet and salsa/ballroom dance. Dr. Halejian still enjoys playing basketball and tennis, but sadly sayshis trumpet and ballroom dance days are behind him.

His passion for dentistry began when he was in high school, when he says his mom convinced him to get braces. According to Dr. Halejian, taking care of his metal-clad mouth introduced him to the benefits of excellent oral hygiene. This experience inspired him to shadow his hometown dentist and later apply to dental school.

When deciding where to work after his residency, Dr. Halejian says New York City was at the top of his list because of the diverse need for dental care and the fact that he would be close to his family and friends. Dr. Halejian is excited to continue bringing[]his passion for dentistry to Brite Dental Spa
