Dr. Zeik is bilingual in Spanish and English. He enjoys his leisure time practicing many sports, spending time with his family and being active in his community. Very early in my life, I experienced the rewards of focusing my efforts on improving the health and safety of the community. This realization came as a result of participating in numerous volunteer work experiences. Seeking to direct this focus to more of a health-based endeavor I focused on dentistry and found my niche. The combination of helping others and working within the field of dentistry resurged my vision of life. My early work as a scientist offered a respected and fulfilling job knowing I was helping mankind. However, I never got to interact one on one with patients, seeing them improve through each visit. Patient contact is a very important driver of my personal and professional satisfaction. This desire, along with my passion for dentistry, greatly motivated my academic choices. New York University College of Dentistry has given me a well-rounded education in to the field of dentistry. Further more, I maintain the highest levels of accreditation and pursue ongoing education to stay abreast of the latest trends in dentistry. I thoroughly enjoy educating my patients on their oral hygiene, ensuring their comfort, and being their primary dentist.
