Speakers
Dr. Justin Elikofer
Dr. Elikofer excelled in academic studies and enjoyed 3D ceramic art, which highly impacted his post-secondary medical education - he found that dentistry was the perfect mix of art and medicine. He graduated from the Indiana University School of Dentistry and took a position with a traveling oral surgery team focused on treating hurting teeth. In 2018, Dr. Elikofer moved to South Florida. He practiced Dental Sleep Medicine under the direction of the AADSM and obtained diplomate status in 2020. Before becoming a private practice owner, he explored the best path to effectively treating patients. Seeing how these devices stabilize the airway and ultimately impact patients' lives has shown Dr. Elikofer the power of practicing sleep.
In his time off, you can find Dr. Elikofer on the water or beach on a nice day or at a sporting event. He follows the USF Bulls, Buccaneers, Rays, and Lightning.
