UFT member

in Los Angeles before practicing dentistry in New York.

After teaching for 2 years, he began his career in dentistry by completing a General Practice Residency program at Peninsula Hospital Center in Far Rockaway, NY.  He was an associate at various dental practices in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan before co-founding Upper West Side Dental in 2011.

He says: “I treat my patients the way I want to be treated; with respect, dignity and first rate care.  It is my priority to make sure my patients are comfortable and well informed.  My extensive education and experience working in a hospital prepared me for very simple and complex dental cases. l pride myself in not over treating my patients, listening to what they want and making recommendations to help them achieve the smile they have always dream of.”
