Dr. Serena Simone

Meet Dr. Serena

If your child has a disability, sensory sensitivities, or complex needs, Dr. Serena is a rare find. She's specially trained in caring for children who need a little more patience, a calmer approach, and a doctor who truly understands them. Using sensory-friendly techniques and gentle behavior strategies, she helps every child feel safe, build trust, and gain confidence in the dental chair.

Dr. Serena is a board-certified pediatric dentist and public health professional. She earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery and completed her pediatric residency at NYU College of Dentistry, holds a Master's in Public Health from Columbia University, and completed advanced fellowship training in Special Care Dentistry and Autism Care at Montefiore Hospital.

She also serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU, where she cares for patients at the Oral Health Center for People with Disabilities and trains the next generation of providers to do the same. Outside the clinic, Dr. Serena loves time with her family and her two dogs, Ollie and Mauka, plus floral arranging, beach days, farmer's markets, and tracking down new vegan spots.
