Mariel Petruk D.D.S.

Dr. Mariel Petruk, is a graduate from the New York University College of Dentistry Doctor of Dental Surgery program. Dr. Petruk has been recognized for her empathetic concern for patients and superior clinical skills. Her clinical experience in one of the busiest dental clinics in the country has prepared her to provide the full range of dental services, including comprehensive treatment of dentally and medically compromised patients.

Not only was her clinical training thorough and rigorous, it incorporated treating those in severe need of dental care with limited access to resources. This became a passion of hers, demonstrated by an outreach trip to Nicaragua to serve those most in need—just one of the many instances she has donated her time as a clinician.

Dr. Petruk is actively involved in the local dental society, and passionate about continuing dental education. In her free time, she enjoys exercising and spending time at the beautiful South Florida beaches, and occasionally snorkels.
