Dear Patients and Friends,
We hope you and your family are doing well. We are very pleased to announce the addition of a new associate dentist who has joined our practice.
It is our pleasure to introduce Dr. Anukriti Gupta, DMD, PhD. Dr. Gupta is a 2016 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, where she earned honors in Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics, and Periodontics. 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.
Dr. Gupta lives nearby in Jericho with her husband Raj and is the proud mother to her four year old son Sohum.
We are truly excited to welcome Dr. Gupta to our team and look forward to introducing you to her soon. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at any time.
