Dr. Ruben Yelizar, a Queens native, proudly serving Long Island as one of it’s leading and most compassionate dentists. After acquiring a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Queens College, he wasted no time and jumped straight into dental school at the prestigious New York University. There, he graduated with an Honors in Aesthetic Dentistry, under the direct tutelage of Dr. John Calamia, a pioneer in the field of Aesthetic Dentistry.
Hungry for more, Dr. Yelizar decided to progress his clinical training by completing one year of General Practice Residency at King’s County Hospital. There he was given the opportunity to connect with a multitude of patients and take what he learned at NYU as well as multiple continuing education courses to provide the most up to date, advanced treatment options. Such care ranged from full mouth rehabilitative care involving digital dentistry, implant surgery, emergency pain management and more.
He has since taken several hundreds of hours in advanced Continuing education courses, becoming a Fellow in both the International Congress of Oral Implantologists as well as the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics, emphasizing his commitment to providing the highest level of care when performing surgery.
On a more personal note, Dr. Yelizar has a passion for all things art – from drawing, to photography, music, movies and more. He worked for over a decade as an event cinematographer & editor before realizing he wanted a more personal connection in his day-to-day interactions, leading to his current line of work, combining his love of art with his desire to learn and help others.
