The Art and Science of Modern Family Dentistry

An Israeli-born dentist and married with three children, Dr. Markovitch started his training in general and cosmetic dentistry over 20 years ago in Israel. He continued his training in the United States at Eastman Dental Center in Rochester, NY, as well as in countless continuing education courses on the latest advancements in dentistry. Always smiling and happy, Dr. Markovitch believes that informed patients are better prepared to make the right decision regarding their oral health and well-being, so he takes his time to make patients feel welcome and understand what options are available in modern dentistry.
Dr. Shay Markovitch is a certified Invisalign® and Lumineers® provider. Utilizing his skills to create beautiful smiles for his patients is one of his priorities because he believes that a smile is a mirror to the soul. When not performing dentistry, Dr. Markovitch enjoys sports, specifically soccer and basketball; however, he usually prefers to spend his time with his wonderful wife and three children.

Trained at the University of Rochester, Dr. Syrrakou has since been inspired by the Rochester Spirit of Meliora which is Latin for “always better”. Guided by a never-ending urge for knowledge and excellence, Dr. Syrrakou has dedicated herself to extensive training in general and cosmetic dentistry and describes herself as perfectionistic and artistic. Dr. Syrrakou loves to read, travel, exercise, and even dabbles in photography.
Dr. Syrrakou spends a lot of time listening to her patients to try and understand their fears of dentistry and their ambitions in creating a beautiful smile, as she collaborates with our in-house specialists to provide exceptional wholistic care.
