    Cultivating Your Vision for Your Practice Part 1, with Drs. Cary and Jonathan Limberakis

    On this episode of the Dental Up Podcast we interview the father-son duo, Dr. Cary Limberakis and Dr. Jonathan Limberakis. Since 1980, Dr. Cary J. Limberakis has been working in southeastern Montgomery and Bucks Counties to provide the best dental care for his patients. His experience in dentistry, commitment to continuing education and genuine concern for his patients result in healthy smiles for young and old alike. Dr. Cary was recognized by his peers and voted among Philadelphia Magazine's 2017, 2018, and 2020 Top Dentists for his expertise in General Dentistry. Dr. Cary was exceedingly proud to announce that his son, Dr. Jonathan C. Limberakis, had joined him in the practice, which is now called Limberakis Family Dentistry. Dr. Jonathan’s calm chairside manner and clinical excellence will put even the most anxious patient at ease. He excels in multiple phases of dentistry and generally handles the surgical and endodontic treatments for their practice. Their combination of expertise creates one of Abington's best duos. In 2021 both Dr. Cary and Dr. Jonathan Limberakis were selected by their dental peers as Philadelphia Magazine Top Dentists 2021.

    Dr. Cary J. Limberakis graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. degree and earned an M.S. from Villanova University. He received his dental training and D.M.D. degree at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, a member of its 1978 centennial class. Dr. Limberakis is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, the International College of Dentists, the American College of Dentists and the Pierre Fauchard Academy. A firm believer in continued education, Dr. Limberakis exceeds by far the annual credit hours required by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and includes his staff in attending courses in the diverse fields of dentistry. In addition, Dr. Limberakis is recognized by his peers and voted as one of Philadelphia Magazine's TOP DENTISTS of 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2021 for General Dentistry. This acknowledgement is a testament to a lifetime of dental excellence and patient care. He is an Attending Dental Staff member and Clinical Instructor of Abington Memorial Hospital's General Practice Residency. Being of Hellenic ancestry affords Dr. Limberakis the ability to converse with Greek-speaking patients.

    Dr. Jonathan C. Limberakis is a graduate of Villanova University with a B.A. in History and completed his Doctorate in Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) at Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry. Following dental school, he was selected to spend a year at the highly regarded General Practice Residency at Abington Memorial Hospital (now Jefferson Health). During this year of additional training, he learned from the top general dentists and specialists in the area, focusing on cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, surgical techniques including placing and restoring dental implants, periodontal maintenance, and advanced restorative techniques. As a long-time city dweller and avid sports fan, you can always strike up a conversation with him about Villanova basketball, the Eagles and Sixers. Dr. Limberakis loves infusing new ideas, techniques and technology into the practice while maintaining world class patient care and comfort.
