Howard Goldberg was born and raised in South Florida, Coral Springs to be exact, and he went to college and dental school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He was accepted as one of approximately twenty students out of hundreds of candidates from across the country to participate in an accelerated curriculum directly out of high school. This dual-degree program combined undergraduate and dental school in six years, as opposed to eight, allowing him to save two years in the process of becoming a dentist. Having gone to school in the Midwest, he learned a lot about Midwestern values, and he feels that has had a tremendous impact on how he practices dentistry. Along with becoming ingrained with Midwestern values, he also developed a love for Kansas City barbecue, and the debate is still up in the air as to whether dentistry or barbecue is more important in his life.
After graduating from dental school, he completed a general dentistry residency program in a Level I trauma center in a hospital in The Bronx. While working there he treated patients with complex treatment needs as well as people with unique medical needs. He also received the compassionate doctor award, which he considers to be his proudest professional accomplishment to date.
Dr. Goldberg is involved in organized dentistry at both the local and national levels including the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, and the South Palm Beach County Dental Association. He is also a member of the International Team for Implantology (ITI), a worldwide association of professionals in implant dentistry, and he is very involved with his local chapter of the Spear Study Club, a dental education organization committed to comprehensive treatment planning to help us reach the best treatment possible for each individual patient based on their needs and desires.
