Dr. Eric, the oldest of four children to Dr. Doug and Patti Veenstra, was born and raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey.He graduated Eastern Christian HS in 1999, Calvin College (Grand Rapids, Michigan) in 2003, and UMDNJ (currently Rutgers Dental School) in 2007. Following graduation from Dental School, Dr. Eric joined his father, Dr. Doug, in his practice in Midland Park, NJ that was originally established in 1981. They have loved working together and feel blessed to continually grow in their service to the community where theyve been for over 35 years.
Dr. Eric values providing the best treatment and the best experience for his patients. and that has led him to pursue hundreds of hours in advanced dental education. He specifically focused his education for several years to implant dentistry when he saw a need in his practice to give his patients the best treatment options available. He completed an externship from NYU Implant Continuum in 2010, an externship from the Misch International Implant Institute in 2012, and an AAID Maxicourse in Implant Studies from Rutgers University in 2015.
In 2013, he married his beautiful wife Kimberly and has since had three precious little girls: Madelyn, Dorothy, and Valerie whom he couldnt love more! He loves the time he gets to spend with his Girls as well as enjoying sports, music, food and being surrounded by friends and family. Over the years he has coached children soccer teams, volunteered his dental abilities on mission trips to Honduras and Africa, and has always been involved with his church.
Dr. Doug was born and raised in Haledon, NJ, one of three sons to Rich, a milkman, and Lois, a church organist. He married his Calvin College sweetheart, Patti, one week after graduation, and one month later, started dental school at UMDNJ (now Rutgers Dental school). After graduation, he did one year General Dentistry Residency at Bergen Regional Medical Center, after which he opened up his own practice in Midland Park, in 1981.
Along the way, hes had four great kids, Eric, Adam, Jaclyn and Joel, three beautiful daughter-in-laws, Kimberly, Karen, and Anna, and five grandchildren (so far) all of whom he considers his greatest blessings.
He has always enjoyed sports, food, gardening and laughing with friends. Throughout his career, hes been able to volunteer time to short-term medical-team missions to Central America, and has always had a love & dedication to the church and its ability to help people in need.
Dr. Doug considers his patients his friends and has always preferred a first-name basis to titles and formalities. The best part of his dental career has always been the relationships he has had with his outstanding staff and so many wonderful patients.
Dr. Noah was born and raised in Ramsey, NJ, and is the oldest of Dave and Sally Ruitenbergs three sons. He graduated Eastern Christian High School in 2011, Calvin College with a degree in biochemistry in 2016, and Rutgers School of Dental Medicine in 2020. After dental school, Dr. Noah enjoyed a one-year residency program at St Josephs Regional Medical Center in Paterson, New Jersey. Dr. Noah is excited to be back and serving the area he grew up in.
Dr. Noah married his beautiful wife Kelly in the summer of 2021. The two of them have a dog, Oakley. They enjoy biking, skiing, and hiking together. Additionally, Dr. Noah loves golf, sports, food, and having a good time with friends. Dr. Noah has enjoyed coaching youth basketball and sports camps throughout college and dental school.

I was a complete dental phobic person based on several previous situations over the years. I can honestly say for the first time, I don't mind going to the dentist at all. Dr. Eric and his staff are excellent. So calming, kind, non-judgmental and they really care about your health - physical and mental! Absolute best dental experience ever, I feel blessed to have found them. Don't wait, you won't be disappointed.

This is my second visit and each time from the receptionist to the doctors are very friendly and welcoming. The office is clean, organized and hygienic. This is how a doctors practice should look like. I wish a lot of practice could learn from Veenstra family dental. Awesome people.
