Meet The Team

The Lilac Family Dental Team

The staff at Lilac Family Dental, like our patients, are like family. Our team has been together for years and because we share the same principals on patient care and spirit of team work, patients can expect to have a warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and caring dental care experience.

Cheryl Brunelle, DDS

Born and raised in Webster, New York, Dr. Brunelle graduated from St. John Fisher College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. She then earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from Case Western Reserve School of Dentistry. After entering private practice in the Cleveland, Ohio, area, she and her husband Dr. Suresh Goel, a periodontist, returned to the Rochester area in 2004 to be close to family and raise their children.

Sharing a similar philosophy and commitment to patient care, Dr. Brunelle joined the practice of Dr. Ladrigan and after his retirement renamed the office.

Having children of her own, she appreciates the importance of providing a positive dental care experience for children and adults alike—an important step in maintaining good oral health habits for a lifetime. Spending time getting to know her patients and their families is important to Dr. Brunelle. She believes strongly in the value of providing affordable, high-quality dental care in a comfortable and caring environment.
