Dr. Kendra Zappia and Dr. Morgan Fryer both grew up in Mechanicville, NY and share more than just a passion for dentistry—they share a story of local roots, academic excellence, and a commitment to health in all its forms.

Kendra graduated from Mechanicville High School, served as class president all four years at Siena College (B.S. in Biology, cum laude), and earned her D.D.S., cum laude, from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine.

Morgan followed a remarkably similar path: Siena College Biology major (cum laude) and University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine grad (cum laude), all while growing up in the same hometown as her sister. I sat down with both of my dentists—who also happen to be sisters—to talk about their journey, their approach to fitness, and their approach to providing quality dental care with a healthy dose of personality.
