Following in the footsteps of his father (who practiced dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, for 38 years), Dr. Myles Spodak found the pursuit of a dental career to be a natural choice. After graduating from Fairleigh Dickenson University, he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from Temple University.

Following dental school, Dr. Myles served his country as a Captain in the U.S. Army Dental Corps. Upon leaving military service, he returned home to New York City where he practiced for the next seven years. Endowed with a keen sense of adventure, he pulled up roots and moved his young family to Delray Beach, Florida, where in 1976 he founded the Spodak Dental Group.

As the town of Delray Beach grew, Dr. Myles’ practice grew with it.

Over the course of the next three decades, he and his wife, Arlene Spodak, cultivated a reputation of trusted care and commitment to the local community. Now, the same sense of adventure and drive for excellence that brought him to Delray Beach in the first place, has kept Spodak Dental Group on the leading edge of innovative dentistry.

Today, with fifty years of experience behind him, he enjoys practicing dentistry now more than ever, and also sharing his knowledge with the team of dentists. In his spare time, you’ll find him on the tennis court or doting over his four beautiful grandchildren.
