About Us

Dr. Rosenberg received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.)
degree in June 1975 from Tufts University, School of Dental
Medicine in Boston Massachusetts.
After graduation, he completed a General Practice Residency
in Dentistry at Boston City Hospital (BCH), where he was one of
two general dentistry residents, among fifteen oral surgery
residents. Having obtained a solid foundation in both general
dentistry and oral surgery, he was appointed as a staff dentist
at Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center (HSNHC) and as an
Assistant Visiting Dentist at Boston City Hospital. At the
HSNHC, he practiced general dentistry for two years, dividing
his practice between adult, adolescent and pediatric patients.
He was part of the multidisciplinary Primary Care Training
Program for Pediatric and Internal Medicine Residents and a
pilot Adolescent Medicine Clinic at Harvard Street NHC. At BCH,
Simon supervised and taught the general practice residents in
the program he had completed.
Dr. Rosenberg then returned to New York City, to Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) to start a two-year
postgraduate specialty training residency in General
Prosthodontics followed by a one-year fellowship in
Maxillofacial Prosthetics. The 1978-1980 residency program
emphasized crowns, bridges, partial and complete dentures, and
the 1980-1981 fellowship focused on advanced techniques to
reconstruct patient's after head and neck cancer surgery.
During those three years, Dr. Rosenberg also completed the
requirements and successfully passed the American Board of Oral
Medicine examination and was awarded Diplomate status. While
the American Dental Association has not formally recognized
oral medicine as a specialty (nor has the ADA recognized any
new specialties since its freeze of new specialties in 1956),
the military, the dental schools and numerous hospitals have
training programs and active research programs in this
area.
Dr. Rosenberg's interest in this area includes treating the
oral complications of head and neck cancer therapy by surgery,
radiation and chemotherapy, as well as the treatment of
numerous non-malignant oral conditions which present with mouth
sores, ulcers, dryness, etc.
In the second year of his residency, Dr. Rosenberg was
awarded support from the American Cancer Society. In the third
year at MSKCC, he was supported by the Samuel and Hannah
Holtzman Trust Fellowship, for advanced training in
Maxillofacial Prosthetics.
From 1981 to 1983, Dr. Rosenberg was appointed as a "Special
Fellow" in the Dental Service at MSKCC and combined clinical
care with teaching and research. His research emphasized the
oral complications of chemotherapy, including altered dental
development in children treated with chemotherapy for
cancer.
In 1983, Dr. Rosenberg was appointed to the full-time staff
at Memorial Hospital (MSKCC) as an Assistant Attending. He
continued on that staff until leaving, after eleven years at
MSKCC, to set up full-time Private Practice in September
1989.
In 1985, Dr. Rosenberg passed Phase I Part 1 of the American
Board of Prosthodontics and became board-eligible in
prosthodontics.
Dr. Rosenberg's research support included a Junior Clinical
Faculty grant from the American Cancer Society from 1983-1985,
a Leukemia Society of America Fellow grant from 1984-1986, two
institutional research grants from the ACS and a three-year
Clinical Investigator grant from the American Cancer
Society.
Simon has published over twenty articles in
dental and medical journals, two chapters in recent Dental
Clinics of North America, the Care of the Mouth chapter in
a cancer textbook (Manual of Oncologic Therapeutics), and
co-edited The Clinician's Guide to the Treatment of Oral
Conditions.
He has lectured numerous times throughout the United States
and Canada and in Colombia, South America.
Simon was born in Manhattan in 1950 and raised in Brooklyn.
He graduated Stuyvesant High School and Brooklyn College with a
BS in Biochemistry. Currently, he lives with his wife and three
children in the New York City area.
