Meet Dr. Zachary Katz DDS

Growing up, Dr. Katz had a passion for fixing broken things or just building something from scratch. To this day, he still remembers the first time his parents bought him a remote-control racecar set. He’d spend hours making variations of cars and tracks, taking them apart, and putting them back together.

Little did Dr. Katz know this passion for restoring a racecar set and working with his hands would lead him to his career as a restorative dentist.

As a young adult, he spent a summer shadowing a family friend who was a dentist. Out of the hundred cases that Dr. Katz saw, the ones that stood out to him were the deflated patients who had been through trauma. He recalls how they sat in the chair as the doctor spoke to them and promised to restore their smiles.

The tears of joy the patients cried the day their work was completed have stuck with Dr. Katz. It was then that he realized that dentistry was the profession for him, as it would allow him to combine all his passions: working with people, working with his hands, and restoring.

Dr. Katz always says being able to make someone’s smile complete again is very special to him, and he hopes to provide that service to as many patients as he can over his career.  

Dr. Katz graduated from Queens College and the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, where he was awarded membership to the Gorgas Odontological Honors Society. He then completed a GPR at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine and two years of coursework in implant dentistry at the NYU College of Dentistry.

In his downtime, Dr. Katz enjoys watching the Yankees, reading a good book, and chasing his three boys around with his wife.
