Dr. Lacivita, known to most of her patients as “Dr. Rosie,” knew she wanted to become a dentist ever since she was old enough to work alongside her father as his dental assistant. Being the daughter of a dentist, she showed interest in the dental field at a very young age. On the right track, Dr. Rosie graduated from York University with a specialized Honours degree in Human Biology. She continued her studies at the University of Western Ontario where she received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2010.

Dr. Rosie is currently an active member of the Ontario Dental Association, Canadian Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry and the York Region Dental Society. She is committed to lifelong learning and takes continuing education courses to keep current with new techniques and treatments.

Dr. Rosie believes that the key to a strong dentist-patient relationship lies in communication, kindness, and trust. She is always welcoming new patients and is looking forward to forming long-lasting relationships with each and every one of them.

Dr. Rosie grew up in Maple, Ontario and currently lives in Newmarket. She is a strong advocate for a good work-life balance and cherishes the time she spends with her family, husband Derick and 2 kids Nico and Gia. In her spare time, Dr. Rosie enjoys being a mom, baking, dancing, and spending time with her big, loud Italian family.

Dr. Rosie has been a part of the Quaker Dental Team since 2011 and truly appreciates the warm, family atmosphere created by both patients and staff alike.
