Provider Spotlight: Dr. Gregory Oselkin, DDS
“I inherited my passion for dentistry from my mother, who was a practicing dentist in both Moscow and New York for 40 years,” says ICS provider Dr. Gregory Oselkin. “After graduating from Moscow University and NYU Dental School, I started my own private practice as a general dentist in Brooklyn. Thirty years later, we have grown to have office locations in Queens and Manhattan, offering general dentistry in three of New York City’s boroughs. “We have deep experience serving patients with disabilities, and our offices comfortably offer services to members speaking English, Spanish, and Russian languages.” {read more}

And now she takes good care of me,” Veta added, pointing at her ICS social worker. {read more}
