Dr. Onalee Sortino grew up in the Rochester area, completed her undergraduate studies at Allegheny college, and attended the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Dr. Onalee continued at UB to complete her post-doctoral training, specializing in pediatric dentistry. Dr. Onalee sits on the executive board for the UB Dental Alumni Association and is a member of the WNY HPV Vaccination Coalition.

Dr. Onalee was the recipient of the Community and Pediatric Dentistry Department Award, as well as the Joseph A. Accardo Eighth District Dental Society award.
When Dr. Onalee was 6 years old, she knew she wanted to be a dentist. What solidified her passion for pediatrics was serving as an Outreach Coordinator for the Buffalo Chapter of AADMD (American Academy of Developmental and Dentistry) all 4 years of dental school. Working with a population with special healthcare needs, she was committed to making appointments fun and enjoyable and taking the fear out of visiting the dentist. As she continued through her education, treating kids was where she felt most at home.
When. Dr. Onalee is not treating kids in the office, you can find her traveling, spending time outdoors rollerblading, skiing, hiking and even running the occasional marathon. She is also a flute player, minoring in Music Performance during her undergraduate studies.
