Virendra Shah, DDS

I graduated from Nair Dental College, Mumbai, India and New York University College of Dentistry. Dentistry has always been my passion. I find it very rewarding to help patients take care of their oral health. I like that Smile New York Dental promotes the same idea by helping patients achieve good oral health. I am proud that my love of dentistry has extended to my three sons, who have followed in the same profession. I have a passion to serve with a smile.

Patricia Tong, DDS

I received my doctor of dental surgery (DDS) degree from New York University College of Dentistry and completed my general practice residency at BronxCare Health System. Keeping my patients happy and healthy while providing quality care brings me joy. At Smile New York, we will work together to create a personalized treatment plan in a warm and friendly environment to help you get that beautiful smile you deserve.

MengXian Joann Chen, RDH

I am committed to the patients’ smiles, that means keeping my mind and skills sharp. I obtained my education from Plaza College. I believe that it takes a lifelong approach to learning and education to best serve the patients’ dental care needs. Patients are educated as to how they can maintain a healthy smile for life and have not only a healthy mouth but a healthy body. I endeavor to provide the patients with a gentle and comfortable experience every time. One smile at a time.

Omar Moran, Practice Manager

I am passionate about ensuring our dental practice runs smoothly and that our patients feel comfortable and confident in our ability to treat their dental needs. I also strive to make sure our skilled clinicians can focus on patient care while the administrative team provides all necessary support. As a Bronx native, I enjoy fostering close relationships with our patients, colleagues, and the neighboring community. Stop by and say hi! We’ve love to care for you and your family.
