Dr Rod believes going to the dentist doesn’t have to be scary and working with kids is the most fun! After graduating from Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine and working with adult patients during his general residency at NYU Langone Hospital, Dr. Rod knew his most fearful adults were those who hated going to the dentist as kids. This fear was something Dr. Rod knew started at a young age and became a driving factor in his interest in working with children. Dr. Rod’s approach is one tailoring differently for every child, and he strives to make going to the dentist as interactive and educational as possible. Dr Rod is committed to making sure your child can smile and even laugh at the dental office!

Dr. Rod completed his post-graduate education in pediatric dentistry at Chesapeake Healthcare/Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Dr Rod is also a proud Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Rod is also passionate about hospital dentistry and is affiliated with Hackensack Meridian Health where he goes into the operating room twice a month to provide dental care to his pediatric and special needs patients most in need.
