Specialized dental practitioners
Emily Waldman, DDS, DMD
Dr. Waldman is a compassionate, community-driven dentist whose career is built on a passion for service, exploration, and delivering thoughtful, patient-centered care. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University at Buffalo in 2021, where she developed a strong foundation in restorative dentistry, preventive care, and patient communication. Eager to broaden her clinical experience, she completed a General Practice Residency (GPR) at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health at the University of Rochester in 2022. During her residency, she gained extensive hands-on experience in advanced procedures, medically complex cases, and emergency treatment, training that continues to influence her confident, comprehensive approach to dentistry. After completing her residency, Dr. Waldman moved to Florida, where she practiced dentistry and continued refining her clinical skill set. In 2025, she returned to the Rochester area to be closer to family and joined Aspen Dental, bringing with her a dedication to patient comfort, education, and long-term oral health. One of the most defining experiences of her career was her nonprofit dental mission in Mongolia, where she spent 30 days providing essential dental care to underserved communities. This work reflects her genuine commitment to improving access to oral health and making a difference through compassion and service values that continue to guide her practice today. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Waldman is an avid adventurer who loves traveling, hiking, camping, and anything that allows her to enjoy the outdoors. She also enjoys exercising and cherishing time with her family. Her warm personality, clinical expertise, and passion for helping others make her a trusted and valued provider within the community.
