A Family Legacy in Huntington, NY

three generations of trusted care

Dr. Alex comes from a family with deep roots in the Huntington community. Her grandfather began serving patients as a general dentist here more than seven decades ago, and her father continued that tradition of personalized, relationship-driven care. Growing up in Huntington, she saw firsthand how meaningful it is when a provider truly knows their patients and their families.

Today, Dr. Alex is honored to build on that legacy in her own way, bringing specialized orthodontic expertise to the community her family has served for three generations. Alex Orthodontics combines advanced technology and modern treatment options with the warmth and personal attention her family has always been known for. It is a practice built for this community, by someone who has always called it home.

Education and Training

Dr. Alex began her academic journey at the College of the Holy Cross, where she graduated with a degree in Biology. She then earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, one of the top dental programs in the country.

During her time at Columbia, Dr. Alex developed a passion for research and clinical excellence. She received multiple awards, including the prestigious Dr. Milton Schlesinger Award for Excellence in Research.

After dental school, she completed a three-year orthodontic residency at Columbia University, where she also earned a Master of Science degree.
