Dr. Gatzonis received his DDS degree from the University of Maryland Dental School in 1989. He is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Dental Association. Dr. Gatzonis is certified in Invisalign and laser dentistry. He has over 20 years of experience in implant restoration and is passionate about providing the best dental care to his patients.

I was born in the beautiful city of Tashkent, Uzbekistan to parents who valued education above all other things: my father, a surgeon, and my mother, a teacher. For me, solving jigsaw puzzles or advanced mathematical problems was a hobby rather then a task. I especially enjoyed building with my hands; a few screws and bolts, with a help of a screw driver and a ratchet, would result in the construction of a toy car or plane.
Growing up, I did not question getting a degree. Instead, the big question was how to build a future in a country with no respect for law or religion. Our family realized that we would have to start from a scratch for a new life in a new land, a land of opportunities.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Queens College, receiving a BA in Biology. I was awarded a Dean's Full Merit Scholarship to attend NYU College of Dentistry, where I graduated in 2001 at the top of my class (Omega Kappa Upsilon). A few years later, I completed my advanced training in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry at NYU College of Dentistry.
NYU is a very special place to me; I not only gained a degree to enter the profession that I love, I also met the love of my life, my wife Bella. Together, we have three magnificent daughters. While they take up most of our free time, we adore spending time together as a family: visiting grandparents, inviting friends over, and playing in the park.
I consider myself a happy, and most importantly, a lucky person. Every morning, I wake up and go to work to do what I love the most (play with tiny screwdrivers to build something important for my patients); and, every evening I head home to those I love the most.

Highly recommend this place! The girl who works at the reception is extremely polite and professional, made me feel good at the very beginning. The doctor is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly, as well as the assistant. I had a minor pain for a couple of days, but as soon as I left the dental office the pain was gone and I felt relieved. Visiting a dentist can be unpleasant experience, but this place is everything but that.

I love everything about this place! I got Invisalign done by Dr. Inessa Kandov and I loved her so much (her husband is amazing too)! She is a perfectionist so she fixed everything that I did not like about my teeth and made made them look amazing. The whole staff in this office is and has always been the best. The ladies at the front desk are always friendly and clear with dates and times. Tony helps Dr. Inessa while I am there and he is a great as well! I am so grateful that I got my treatment here because it was a great experience.

I gave this place one star for pitty, this place is a joke, !!! In my experience they wasted my time, I go in was seen by the Dr. And no problem very nice and professional, gave me a diagnostic and a plan , and was told by his staff that night that she would call the next day my insurance on getting the procedure approved, we'll a week and a half later I had to be the one to call and find out what the f happened, the lady who answers had no Idea of why I was calling and after explaining my issue she cover for her Co worker saying it take 2 to 3 weeks for the insurance to get back to them, I been in other places and a call would of solved it all, they clearly have their plate too full and don't want to tell people that, so they put you on the bottom until they can get to you, now I have to look for another place because of these idiots wasting my time, this was my experience, maybe because I ain't greek is why I got put to the bottom of the list, anyway like I said this was just my experience, hopefully it won't happen to anyone like it happened to me and that is why I gave this place one star and , as far as the doctors concerned he is a very nice person professional it's just that he's surrounded by incompetent staff.
