Why He Was Nominated:

Dr. Zoobi has long pursued his dream of building a top dental practice from the ground up. Since dental school, he has grown two dental implant centers operating under the Elements Dental of New York brand, which he founded in 2008. As his patient base burgeoned, Dr. Zoobi saw a market opportunity for affordable implants and studied how best and most efficiently to deliver full-arch reconstructions affordably.

Tool He Can’t Live Without:

“My Cone Beam.”

Philosophy:

“The best view comes after the hardest climb. Nothing compares to watching that first smile of a happy patient after the final placement. Dentists are blessed not only to help treat their patients, but also share in their joy after they get their dream smile.”

Impact of the Pandemic:

“To help my patients, along with the rest of the New Yorkers in need of emergency dental care, our offices remained open on the frontlines throughout. This also helped take the load off and relieve our New York City hospital emergency rooms from dental emergencies.” (Read: “First Person”)

Something People Don’t Know:

“I’m an avid poet and philosopher. Being able to slow things down and express my gratitude daily has allowed me to dig deeper for purpose.”
