Dr. Basilice’s journey into dentistry began following a childhood incident that resulted in dental trauma. This experience, which required a decade of treatment from various dental specialists, inspired him to pursue a career in dentistry to help others regain their confidence and self-esteem.

Dr. Basilice's academic journey began at St. John's University, where he earned a BS in biology with an exceptional 3.9 GPA while participating in water polo, swim team, and tutoring university athletes. His outstanding performance on the DAT helped him secure his acceptance to the New York University School of Dentistry, where he completed the four-year program in just three years. After passing the National Dental Boards, Dr. Basilice completed a general surgical residency at Beekman Downtown Hospital in Manhattan, where he simultaneously established his first practice.

While serving as an admissions committee member at NYU and Beekman Downtown Hospital, Dr. Basilice reviewed over 1,000 applications and interviewed 250+ students. This experience honed his ability to pinpoint precisely what selective dental schools and dental residency programs seek in applicants. 

Throughout his career, Dr. Basilice has built two successful dental practices—one on 5th Avenue in Manhattan and another in Suffolk County, Long Island—which he continues to operate today. His commitment to community service extended beyond dentistry when, following Hurricane Katrina, he founded EnviroSafe, a disaster recovery and relief company that has since assisted victims of other natural disasters including Superstorm Sandy. The company also specializes in virus decontamination for HVAC systems in schools and buildings. His humanitarian efforts have earned him recognition as a member of the FEMA National Council, the National Green Council, and the International Sustainability Council. He is also affiliated with the First and Tenth District National Dental Association and the National Association of Architects.

Dr. Basilice has dedicated over 20 years to mentoring and coaching aspiring dental professionals.
