Morningside Heights is one of our closest neighbors — Columbia students, faculty, and residents around the Cathedral of St. John the Divine make up a big part of our practice family. Dr. Shirley’s background as a former classroom teacher makes him a natural fit for a neighborhood full of students and educators.
Early Monday appointments and online booking make it practical to fit dental visits around class schedules and lab hours.
Looking for a dentist near Morningside Heights or Columbia? We get the schedule reality: midday weekday appointments and evening-friendly Mondays, plus ClearCorrect for students who want a subtle smile upgrade between semesters.
