A Legacy of Craftsmanship & Compassion

​

Beyond his credentials, Dr. Sommers is known for his approachable nature and his ability to make patients feel at ease - even those who have avoided dental care for years.

​

Dr. Sommers’s journey to dentistry is as inspiring as his patient results. Before becoming a dentist, he worked as an ironworker - helping construct the World Trade Center in New York City. That experience instilled a work ethic and attention to detail that now shows up in every smile he designs.

​

He often says that dentistry, like building, requires both precision and purpose and every patient he serves deserves a solid foundation for their health and confidence.
