September Update from Bronsky Orthodontics of Park Avenue & TriBeCa

We are looking forward to jumping into September so we can unveil our new Rewards Program for all of our patients. Each patient will receive their own Bronsky/TriBeCa Orthodontics card, and will receive points for treatment participation. We can't wait to roll out this program, and are happy to reward patients for their great compliance with treatment, office support and devotion. We will keep you posted, and in the meantime so follow us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and right here on our blog!

Meet Dr. Matos

An honor student, Dr. Matos attended NYU for his undergraduate and graduate studies. Then he earned his post-doctoral certificate in Orthodontics from Boston University’s Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry.

Dentistry has become a family business – his brother is an oral surgeon, his sister is a pediatric dentist and his wife is a periodontist. Orthodontics is something he wanted to do all his life: "I remember being impressed by my orthodontist when I was a child. Even then, I liked the conservative nature of orthodontics: full-mouth reconstruction using existing materials – the teeth. I think of it as healthful and green." Speaking of green, his house is outfitted with an extensive solar array, providing clean and renewable energy to his and neighboring houses.

Dr. Matos enjoys spending time with his wife, Vicky, and children: Sofia, Theodora and John. He enjoys gardening and landscaping at his Long Island home. He has maintained his family’s tradition of winemaking with his father and siblings at his parent’s house in New Jersey; brewing beer is another pastime. Restoring his antique car and music are also in the mix.

His soundtrack? Classic rock'n'roll, old-school rap and jazz.

Meet Dr. Moon

Dr. Moon believes in living in the moment. Whether it is work, downtime or school – she attended Cornell University for her bachelor’s, the University of Michigan for her master’s and NYU for her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree – she wants to make every minute count.

Her thoughtful approach fits perfectly with that of the practice – Dr. Bronsky was one of her attendings at Cornell Medical Center – and translates to her patients as well. "I try to treat my patients the way I would like to be treated," she says. "It’s important to make them comfortable. I think it really makes a difference."

But the thing that attracted her to orthodontics is her mind. "I’m analytical by nature," she says. "I like the thought process behind my work. All the tools are there – it’s my job to come up with the solution."

Music is viewed similarly. "I love that every time you listen to a song, you pick up on different things. I am fascinated by how all the different instruments and voices come together to make the whole feel and sound of a song."

Much like a beautifully orchestrated smile.

Meet Dr. Bronsky

Dr. Mark Bronsky Graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Trinity College with a Bachelor of Science/Honors in Biology. While at Trinity, Dr. Bronsky participated in endocrinology research, studying the effects of various steroid hormones on brain development. During his time at Trinity, Dr. Bronsky played Junior Varsity LaCrosse, was an ad-hoc producer of a U2 concert, and was a semi-finalist in the Rhodes Scholarship competition.

Dr. Bronsky graduated from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry as salutatorian with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree and was inducted into the National Dental Honor Society. He continued his education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, where he earned a Certificate in Orthodontics and a Master of Science (MS) degree in Endocrinology. Portions of his master's thesis were published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral and the Journal of Endocrinology.

Since 1990, Dr. Bronsky has served as Clinical Attending and Lecturer in Orthodontics at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Mount Sinai Medial Center, Beth Israel Medical Center, and St. Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital Center.

Outside of the office, Dr. Bronsky loves being a dad; hiking, biking, ice skating, skiing, or enjoying a game of baseball with his sons Jack and Mick. Dr. Bronsky draws inspiration from rock & roll music and his official soul mate, Jodi, who is a perfect match for him right down to her top ten rock album picks!
