Dr. Neil Druks, D.M.D.

Born and raised in Norwalk, Connecticut, Dr. Druks graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston Ma. After graduation, Dr. Druks was asked to remain at Tufts and join the staff of dental experts to teach upcoming students before opening his own practice in the Norwalk community. While practicing, Dr. Druks was awarded a teaching fellowship at the New England Medical Center doing reconstructive work with plastic surgeons on children born with facial and dental deformities. The fellowship not only helped many children during his time at the New England Medical Center but helped to further his knowledge in the field of family dentistry.

Long active in his community, Dr. Druks has a long list of achievements including the position of the former Chairman of the Greater Norwalk Peer Review. Currently Dr. Druks is a member of the Norwalk Grievance Committee, the American Dental Association, Greater Norwalk Dental Society, Implantology Study Group, American Academy of Dentistry, and he is very active in numerous civic activities throughout the Fairfield County area.

Dr. Druks believes that a positive attitude is the key approach and foundation for success in his daily work. With the mission of his office to provide quality dental care in a friendly, personal and unhurried atmosphere, it becomes no surprise that he creates doctor / patient relationships that are strong enough to keep patients retuning time and time again regardless of their proximity.
