Dr. Adams

Dr. Allysa (Lysa) Adams is thrilled to be home in Pennsylvania to practice dentistry! Like her parents and grandparents, she is a native Pennsylvanian, born and raised in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. In college, she moved east to New Jersey to study Molecular Biology at Princeton University. She then moved to Boston and earned a Master’s Degree in Genetics at Harvard University, where she studied craniofacial development at Boston Children’s Hospital. After earning her DMD at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, she completed further training in general dentistry and community health through the Lutheran Medical Center AEGD residency program in Boston.

Dr. Adams believes that dentists have a social responsibility to serve the communities in which they live. She believes that oral health is a critical component of overall health, and that dentistry is both a science and an art. Her goal is to treat her patients with honesty and kindness, and to help them achieve their own goals regarding the look and feel of their smiles.

Dr. Adams moved to Lancaster with her husband, who joined the faculty of Franklin & Marshall College as an Assistant Professor of Psychology. In her free time, she enjoys painting, hiking, cooking, and spending time with their much-loved dog, Reuben.
