Dr. Zarina Staller has truly lived a life committed to dentistry. As a child in Colombia, she helped her parents in their own dental practice, where she developed a love for helping others. Knowing dentistry was always her passion, she attended Colegio Odontologico in Bogota, Colombia, graduating with a D.D.S. degree in 1989. Dr. Staller worked in a private practice in Colombia, before coming to the United States, where she earned a D.M.D. degree from Nova Southeastern University School of Dental Medicine in Florida. This gives her a unique distinction in the field, as she currently holds two degrees in dentistry.

She enjoys architecture and underwater photography, both apparent in her office design, which is decorated with photographs she has taken. Dr. Staller sees the artistic value in everything, from nature’s beautiful oceans to Delray Beach’s spectacular smiles.
