To understand me as a person and as an orthodontist, one has to know my early experiences. I went to a small school, Williams College, located in a rural area. As a result, I gained an appreciation for nature and outdoor activities. I now love running, hiking, camping, and whitewater rafting. I was also very involved in music throughout high school and college: Iplayedboth classical and jazz trumpet. Finally, my undergraduate degree was in mathematics. All these interests have followed me into my professional life.

Professionally, I was influenced by that mathematics degree. Before deciding to become an orthodontist, I had considered becoming an engineer. I believe my analytical skills, honed by mathematics, have broadened my approach to orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

In my private life, I focus on health through running, eating right, and outdoor activities. SinceI live close to the office, I walk to work every day. I also appreciate the positive effects of listening to good music. This orientation extends to how I interact and connect with my patients.

Because I ama religious Jew, family is very important to me. I have a large, very close-knit family with quite a few children and grandchildren. I love children, which impacts my practice. While I happily care for adults, my special love is still for kids. I never raise my voice with even the most non-compliant child; here, there are only feelings of love and friendshipas we encourage children to grow into upstanding individuals.

I am passionate about education. After finishing my undergraduate degree, I enrolled at Stony Brook University, where I was awarded my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. I attended Columbia University for my orthodontic residency and specialty training.

I first became interested in Dentistry when I worked as a dental lab tech in the US Navy during WWll. When I kept asking my superiors questions about why things are done a certain way, they finally said, Maybe you should go to dental school and find the answers to your questions! So upon finishing my tour of duty in the Navy, I enrolled in the New York University. I received my BA, my DDS and my specialization in orthodontics all from NYU. I began our orthodontic practice in Rockaway Park. When my son Robert, decided to go to dental school after college, I was thrilled. And then when he became an orthodontist, it was even more exciting.

Dr. Robert Rubin first joined me part-time while he started his own practice in Far Rockaway. In 2004, we decided to merge the two practices and located it at its present location: 833 Central Avenue in Far Rockaway. This was a really great move for me. I now had the fun of practicing orthodontics without the headaches of managing the business. My son, Dr Junior, as the staff call him, took all those headaches from me. In total, we have been together for over 30 wonderful years!

We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.

Working with Dr Rubin is always fun and entertaining. I am so fortunate to be part of such a special team.

Ive had the pleasure of being a part of Rubin Orthodontics since 2010!Im passionate about being a orthodontic assistant. The most rewarding part of my job is interacting with patients and educating them on how better to care for their teeth. Working with Dr. Rubin is truly a wonderful experience which makes me proud to be a part of such an outstanding team.

Hi, my name is Olga and I was a dental assistant for several years before coming to Rubin Orthodontics. Dr Rubin was nice enough to give me the opportunity to learn orthodontic assisting, and the transition was easy. We have a wonderful team who make our patients feel great about their smiles.

I feel very fortunate and proud to work with Dr. Rubin and all of the staff. Not only is it a pleasant atmosphere, its great to see such smiley faces on the patients. New patients walk in very excited and eager to improve their teeth, and are very happy to have their braces put on. Its so rewarding to see the same patients walk out later with great smiles and great confidence! Dr. Rubin is not only a soft-spoken doctor with lots of patience (and patients) but also a great boss!

Hello my name is Stephanie and I am Dr. Rubins New Patient Treatment Coordinator. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting the new patients. Seeing their excitement to start treatment is a gift. I have such a pleasure working with Dr. Rubin and my fellow coworkers. Dr. Rubin is no ordinary boss; he is fun, caring and understanding towards his staff and his patients. I will always be grateful to Dr. Rubin for giving me the opportunity to work in his office.

Dr. Robert Tzvi Rubin and the Rubin Orthodontics team know there is no onesize thatfitsall when it comes to creating your perfect smile. You need a custom care approach thats tailored to meet your personal and clinical situation and delivers a strong, lasting, perfect smile.

Orthodontics is more than straightening teeth, improving oral health, and creating beautiful smiles;its about caring for the whole person, treating him orher with respect and compassion, and building relationships. Youll always be greeted by name, well remember our last conversation, and well look forward to your visits as a time to catch up with a friend!

Clear Communication: Open, direct communication is the bedrock of Rubin Orthodontics. We need to know what you want from treatment and to understand your concerns. You need to know whats happening in your mouth and the treatment options that will work to correct those issues. We promise to explain every treatment, keep you fully informed of progress, and encourage your questions. You deserve to be an informed patient!

From your first contact with our office staff, you will find everything is explained clearly. Our office staff bends over backwards to ensure that all questions are answered and you are fully educated aboutall treatment options. Even with adolescent patients, the best orthodontist will achieve only mediocre results if he cannot gain cooperation from the patient. Dr. Rubin and our staff have achieved fantastic results because of their ability to relate to patients of all ages and have fun while doing it.

Honest and integrity are unsurpassed at Dr. Rubin Orthodontics. What makes us stand out is that Dr. Rubin will be honest and frank with you at the initial examination. If he feels your child is not ready for braces, he will tell you that. If treatment is not necessary or more economical options exist, he will tell you that as well. Some people have the impression that no matter when you walk into an orthodontic office, you will leave with braces. Dr. Rubin will give you his professional opinion based on what is best for you or your child, not what is most convenient.

Education: Dr. Rubin and our staff members are professionals. We are constantly seeking new information, and learning about advances in technology and technique, in order to provide you with leading-edge care.

Dr. Rubin trained at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine and Columbia University for Orthodontics. He constantly expands his knowledge in the latest techniques throughcourses and contact with colleagues. He is also a part of the monthly Dentofacial Deformities meeting at Long Island Jewish Hospital, where a group of orthodontists and oromaxillofacial surgeons treat patients with facial deformities.

Our commitment to education extends to you. Well teach you about your oral health and how the health of your mouth affects your body and vice versa. We want you to finish treatment with a smile you love and the knowledge and desire to keep it healthy for years to come!
