Today's special guest was none other than Dr. Snapchat himself, Dr. Daniel Rubinshtein— straight from Brooklyn, New York! Dr. Rubinshtein is one of the most passionate and visionary dentists we have had the opportunity to have on our podcast. He is a cosmetic dentist that has worked in New York and in Florida, but has recently gained notoriety for using Snapchat to broadcast his work to the masses. We talk about some of the trends of social media and how it can make you, the dentist, all the more attractive to potential patients.
Dr. Rubinshtein graduated from the prestigious Yale University, where he completed his general practice residency. Dr. Rubinshtein also is a graduate of New York University College of Dentistry where he received his doctor of dental surgery degree. At NYUCD, Dr. Rubinshtein was a member of the Aesthetic Honors program where he displayed his artistic and keen eye for beauty. He won first place in the Empire State Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry smile makeover campaign, a prestigious recognition in the dental community, and placed among the top ranking dentists at the national American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Conference.
Dr. Rubinshtein’s desire to help others who are less fortunate has been apparent in his involvement with many charities from oral cancer to feeding the homeless. His time spent on several dental outreaches that served under privileged communities throughout the country, displays his genuine concern for not only the art of dentistry but also the importance of dental health. He also has been part of the growing and exceptional program LEAP, where Dr. Rubinshtein has been invited on numerous occasions to fly out to UCLA and be a mentor for students looking for leadership and motivation.
Dr. Rubinshtein was born to two parents who are dentists themselves. Thus, the innate ability is not only nature, but nurture as well. He developed a passion for dentistry at a very early age, growing up and learning alongside his parents in their Brooklyn dental practice. He would spend summers at their practice zealous to learn and please, and acquiring the dual ability of the meticulous craft of dental artistry and the gentle care patients need.
