About Philip Aurbach, DMD
Dr. Aurbach was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He completed his undergraduate education at Mercy College in Westchester, New York, before receiving his D.M.D. degree through Nova Southeastern University in sunny south Florida. Following graduation, he returned to his home state and completed a General Practice Residency at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Aurbach has worked in many styles of dental offices, from hospital based services to dental clinics that see underserved populations to high end cosmetics offices; gaining a different experience at every one. His goal is to provide a broad spectrum of high quality dental care to his patients in a friendly, comfortable and family oriented atmosphere. Following his work in these offices as an associate, he opened Old Hook Dental to accomplish that goal. As ""Mom and Pop"" style businesses are in a steady decline due to giant corporations (even in dentistry) he sees this as his proof that the American dream is still alive and well. In his free time, Dr. Aurbach enjoys traveling, snorkeling and marine life, hiking and anything with wheels and a motor. Some of his other interests include American muscle cars, Jeeps, motorcycles, model ship building, carpentry, music and movies.
