Dr. Sachs

Dr. Sachs

Dr. Sachs is a periodontal surgeon specializing in implants and the treatment of periodontal disease (traditional surgery or laser surgery). He has been recommended and highly regarded in the community for the past 35 years. His practice focuses on the placement of dental implants, the treatment of periodontal disease, including traditional and laser surgery, and periodontal cosmetics. He is known for his sensitive, caring approach and ability to provide painless, high-quality treatment to all his patients. 

His excellent academic background includes a DDS from Northwestern University, where he excelled in periodontics. Dr. Sachs has extensive proficiency in his specialty and treats his valued patients with the utmost care and expertise. He is also an avid reader and enjoys diversity in his subject matter. His communication skills include fluency in French and Spanish. 

After completing dental school and a hospital residency, he was chosen for the coveted Periodontal Residency program at the University of Southern California, where he was also involved in periodontal research. Additionally, Dr. Sachs is an active member of the American Academy of Periodontology, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, American Dental Association, New York State Dental Association, Nassau County Dental Society, and Long Island Academy of Periodontics. 

He is on the board of directors of Nassau County Dental Society and is past chairman of the Greater Long Island Dental Meeting. For the past 16 years, Dr. Sachs has been the president and program director of the Greater South Bay Dental Study Club and has provided hundreds of hours of continuing education for dentists in the area.

Board Certified

Dr. Sachs is a board-certified specialist, which means that in addition to the standard requirements for completing a specialty program, he has made significant achievements beyond the mandatory requirements of the specialty. The requirements include successfully completing a comprehensive oral and written examination covering all phases of periodontal disease and its treatment, including placing dental implants. 

The requirements for board certification also include detailed reports of a broad range of actual treatment personally proved by Dr. Sachs and a rigorous examination by a panel of internationally respected peers. This is one of the highest recognitions of achievement by the specialty.

Living locally with his wife and two daughters, Dr. Sachs enjoys traveling as a family and experiencing new adventures! He is an enthusiastic skier and outdoor photographer and loves activities that bring him closer to nature, including hiking and backpacking.

Dr. Reisfeld

Dr. Stacy Reisfeld has joined Dr. Sachs as his practice associate. She has over 25 years of experience in periodontology and implantology as a specialist on Long Island and is highly accredited and respected in these specialties. Her expertise and patient-oriented philosophy share with Dr. Sachs the same conservative and considerate approach to patients’ needs and priorities. 

Dr. Reisfeld is also a native Long Islander and graduate of Stonybrook Dental School, where she is currently president of her dental alumni association. Her periodontal specialty education was completed at Virginia Commonwealth University, after which she returned to Long Island to practice in her field. 

Our Periodontics Team

The term “team” refers to a group of people working toward a goal or predetermined result. Many different aims would be unmet if not for the work and support of like-minded people. That is why we strive to be a team. Meeting the challenges of a busy specialty practice dedicated to its patients’ dental health and welfare requires daily commitment, and we are up to the task.

Our team is made up of five very distinct, talented women with a wide range of skills. What brings us together is a common desire and ultimate goal: to be there for the patients who have placed their trust in us. We work hard to understand and respect our patients as people to help them achieve their dental and overall health objectives.

Our Team Members

Rita

After more than 25 years with Dr. Sachs, Rita became our financial advisor and the “go-to” person for insurance and finance-related matters. She works hard to assure that our patients receive their maximum insurance benefits when applicable and endeavors to assist them, whatever their financial circumstances. She also handles coordinating everything the front desk demands of her.

Robin

Robin is Dr. Sachs’ “right hand” – quite literally – as Dr. Sachs is left-handed! She is the woman whose skillful assistance and surgical expertise have helped Dr. Sachs achieve optimum treatment results in the simplest to the most challenging procedures. Her calming personality and caring manner remain steady and comforting after over 20 years.

Peggy

The upbeat personality and megawatt smile of our dental hygienist for more than 8 years are a true blessing. Her experience and expertise in her profession and her dedication to prevention and patient care serve our patients well in maintaining their oral health. She is an asset to our company.

Our newest team member has spent her past year with us as a dental hygienist winning new friends and excellent reviews for her demeanor and expertise. Louise comes to us with an impressive resume. An extensive background in public health, added to her hygiene skills and dental knowledge, has made her an excellent addition to our office. Her reassuring personality and manner are coupled with professional dedication.
