Dr. Maeso joined our practice in 2005. He has an unbelievable memory and can recall stories from each of his patients. Dr Maeso particularly loves to work in cosmetic, restorative and removable dentistry. He has an infectious laugh and has a wonderful sense of humor. In his free time he enjoys doing word scrambles and spending time with family, friends, and his three dogs. Dr. Maeso has two children who are both currently in college at FIU. He is very close with his extended family and constantly has members staying with him. His wife is an incredible cook and likely the reason all his family always chooses to stay with him. Whenever it rains he runs to the store hoping his wife will make him his favorite dish San Cocho. Dr Maeso is always a favorite within the office, but on days where he brings his wife’s leftovers he is particularly loved. He enjoys dining out and loves to explore all different types of restaurants, but has a particular love for his native Puerto Rican cuisine. As the experiences veteran in the office he is always lending his opinion and helping out wherever he can.
