We got the chance to interview Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, DDS— who is
notably the father of Mark Zuckerberg (yes, that Mark Zuckerberg). Ed
is a fantastic dentist who is just as forward thinking as his son,
Mark. In this two-part episode, we were also graced with the presence
of Dr. John Landers— so this was our first episode with a full-house
in-studio! Not bad for thirteen episodes in.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of this incredible episode of Dentists, Implants and Worms!
Dr.
Zuckerberg is a 1978 graduate of New York University College of
Dentistry. He completed a general practice residency at the Brooklyn
V.A. Hospital in 1979 and received advanced training in Oral Surgery,
Periodontics, Endodontics (Root Canal) and Prosthetics (Crown, Bridges
and Dentures). In 1984, Dr. Zuckerberg received a fellowship in the
Academy of General Dentistry (F.A.G.D.) recognizing his superior
achievements in post-graduate continuing education.
To this day,
Dr. Zuckerberg regularly participates in courses to improve his craft
utilizing modern techniques and materials. He has consulted with
insurance companies and appeared as an expert witness in court. Dr.
Zuckerberg has published articles in Dental Journals on his observations
and on his development of new techniques and is featured in the
September 2010 issue of Dentaltown Magazine where he writes on the use
of Social Media (Facebook) for Dentists. His ability to render
comprehensive care, while being especially sensitive to the needs of
phobic patients, sets him apart from his colleagues. Dr. Zuckerberg’s
outside interests include scuba diving, photography and contract bridge.
