She brings nearly 10 years of experience in private practice and a strong commitment to clinical excellence.
Dr. Kobak, Dr. Diamantakis and Dr. Raxenberg have served for many years as volunteer teaching attendings in the Northwell Hospital Dental Department, where they have worked closely with Dr. Gupta, who has also been a member of the hospital dental staff. She is highly regarded by her colleagues, and it quickly became clear that her professional standards, ethics, and personal values align closely with our own.
Dr. Gupta is known for her warm, friendly, and compassionate approach to patient care. She is passionate about building meaningful connections with her patients, understanding their individual needs, and helping them achieve healthy, confident smiles. We are confident she will be a wonderful addition to our practice and to our dental family.
