Dr. Moncrieff, a general dentist in NYC, has had a career spanning over 40 years, combining private practice with public service. He founded the current dental practice in 1980 and renamed it Dental West to honor his new collaboration with Dr. Walter. It is thanks to Dr. Moncrieff’s holistic and patient centered mindset that we have been able to provide a culture of excellent dental care for the past four decades.

Dr. Moncrieff completed his general practice residency at Mount Sinai Hospital, where he became a volunteer clinical instructor and then became the Coordinator of the GPR Program during the 80s. He continued volunteering until 2019.
Dr. Moncrieff joined the Children’s Aid Society where his love of children and the development of his hygiene instruction was put to use. He served for a decade as staff dentist at Kateri nursing home, which led to the publication of Nursing Home Dentistry in the New York State Dental Society Journal in 1998. Most recently, Dr. Moncrieff volunteered with the New York City Emergency Medical Corp, administering COVID vaccines in West Harlem.
Dr. Moncrieff has stayed active in local Canadian activities, including the annual Terry Fox Run in Central Park, University of Alberta alumni events, and the Canadian Association of New York.
