Why She Was Nominated:

Dr. Amable is a board-certified pediatric dentist, a clinical assistant professor at New York University College of Dentistry, the founder and director of the pipeline initiative “Bringing Smiles Enrichment Program” and the owner of Ardsley Family Dental.

Most Memorable Patient:

“An 8-year-old boy with ectodermal dysplasia who was really struggling with bullying at school because of his missing teeth. After the completion of his treatment, he looked at his new smile—with acrylic partial dentures—in the mirror and started to jump on the dental chair out of happiness. He was full of life and energy! My heart couldn’t have been happier for him, his mom and his new smile.”

Biggest Challenge:

“Trying to balance my time between my private practice, my duties as a clinical professor, my responsibilities as a program director and mentor, and my most important role: being a wife and a mom to my three children.”

Impact of the Pandemic:

“My husband and I were about to open our startup practice in the middle of March. We took advantage of the time off to work on the efficient systems for the office and safety protocols for our patients and staff. We started seeing our first patients on June 1.”
