Dr. Ira Goldberg has been practicing dental implantology for over 20 years and has a volume of experience & skill to treat his patients with expertise, care, and compassion. He has earned degrees and certifications that very few doctors worldwide hold. Patients travel long distances for his expertise: they know that they are in talented and caring hands.
Another component that makes this office unique is the pairing of Dr. Ira Goldberg with Dr. Raj Upadya. They share something special: the passion and intensity to view patients as a whole, and recognize conditions and options that often go overlooked by others. Dr. Goldberg is a scholar of The Dawson Academy for Complete Dentistry.
This means he has gone through a rigorous curriculum to address dental problems in a logical and comprehensive manner. Not only has Dr. Upadya undergone the same training, but he is actually an instructor for the Academy, which says a lot regarding his skill level. You will be hard-pressed to find just one doctor of either caliber, but to have two doctors with this expertise under one roof is truly astounding.
Oftentimes, implants are not stand-alone solutions to dental problems: they may be just one piece in a puzzle. Both Drs. Ira Goldberg and Raj Upadya have in-depth knowledge and skill in dental implants and complex problems, which allows them to provide patients with multiple options: they dont try to fit all patients into the same cookie-cutter solution.
There is another factor that makes the care by Dr. Goldberg unique and special: he addresses in the beginning what you should expect at the end. Not all implant doctors cover this, and patients oftentimes do not think about these important issues. Topics include:

A primary patient concern is they dont want to be referred to multiple offices, and they want one office to take care of their needs.
