Passionate about staying at the forefront of dental innovation, Dr. Severchenko commits to 50-100 hours of continuing education each year, ensuring his patients benefit from the latest and most effective treatments available.

Fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, Dr. Severchenko proudly serves the diverse South Florida community, making every patient feel welcome and understood.

As a dentist, it is my pleasure to offer my patients the best level of care. I always strive to keep my patients well-informed and educated on our procedures. I take time with them, consider their personal goals and concerns, and involve them in a discussion about their treatment options. All this, including empathy and respect, helps me earn patients’ trust and respect. Whether you need urgent care, ongoing preventive dentistry, or restorative and cosmetic dentistry, I look forward to meeting you here at NewStar Dental.
