Northwell Expands Dental Services In Nassau County

GARDEN CITY, NY — Northwell Health is expanding its dental medicine services in Nassau County.

The two locations are open and rebranded as Northwell Health Physician Partners Dental Medicine. One is at 300 Garden City Plaza in Garden City, while the other is at 173 East Shore Road in Great Neck.

"This is a great step for dental medicine as part of Northwell’s strategic mission to deliver
care in Nassau County," said David Hirsch, MD, DDS, senior vice president of dental medicine
at Northwell. "Good oral health is directly related to the prevention and control of a wide range of diseases, from diabetes to heart disease."

The Garden City multispecialty practice is headed by Leonard Patella, DDS, a cosmetic dentist who is chief of general dentistry at Northwell and also served for decades as chair of dental medicine at Glen Cove Hospital.

"My commitment to providing quality dental care has been steadfast and I am proud to have recently integrated my practice into Northwell Health Physician Partners, further enhancing our ability to deliver comprehensive health care services to our community," Patella said.

Northwell now has six outpatient dental practices on Long Island.
