Dr. Lawrence Absatz has joined Babylon Dental Care, bringing nearly 40 years of experience from his private practice in East Patchogue and Huntington, as said in a news release dated November 4. His career in dentistry began on Long Island, New York, in 1992, where he established a practice in East Patchogue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Absatz took over an established practice in Huntington and maintained its stability for two years.

According to the release, Absatz's interest in dentistry was sparked during his childhood visits to a dentist who made the experience enjoyable. He perceives dentistry as both a science and an art form. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Johns Hopkins University and a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Tufts University School of Medicine.

"I'm excited to collaborate with other professionals in the office and tackle complex cases together," said Dr. Absatz. "Working as part of a team allows us to offer the best possible dental care to our patients." His approach emphasizes patient education, prevention, and individualized care, focusing on regular checkups to prevent future issues. He aims to build trust and communication with each patient while providing minimally invasive treatments that preserve natural tooth structure.

Jen Brown, COO of Babylon Dental Care, expressed confidence in Absatz's contribution: "Dr. Absatz’s extensive experience and dedication to patient care will be a tremendous asset to our team."
