Dr. Robert M. Hersh

Dr. Robert Hersh has lived in Brooklyn since he was two years old. He received his BA in biology from Brandeis University in 1978, and his DMD degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1982. He completed a 2 year General Practice Residency at Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, and he taught at Brookdale from 1984 to 1992.

During September 1983 Dr. Rob spent a month as a volunteer dentist, treating underprivileged immigrants, in Sderot, in the Negev desert of Israel. In 1984 he was awarded a fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry after having completed over 500 post-graduate hours of continuing education, as well as passing a rigorous written exam. In 1984 he married Meryl Nagourney and he joined his father Dr. Harold Hersh (z"l), who founded the practice in 1958.

Following in the footsteps of his father, Dr. Robert is dedicated to delivering superb, high quality dentistry to his patients. He seeks out and employs the latest advances that technology has to offer. He is certified in Invisalign (a high tech method of aligning teeth without braces), and he is one of the first general dentists in New York to incorporate using a clinical microscope in all phases of restorative dentistry. Recently, he joined Dr. Alan Winter and Dr. Alan Pollack of APW Imaging, and installed an iCAT Cone Beam Tomography x-ray unit, the latest in 3 dimensional dental imaging.

• American Dental Association
