From an early age, Dr. Rachel Halpern knew she wanted to dedicate her career to helping others. Growing up in a family of healthcare professionals, she was inspired by her father, an OB-GYN, whose compassion and dedication to patients left a lasting impression. While attending the Academy of Allied Health and Science in Neptune, NJ, Rachel’s curiosity for healthcare deepened, and after shadowing an endodontist in high school, she discovered her passion for dentistry. Seeing the transformative impact of relieving pain and saving natural teeth solidified her path toward endodontics.
Dr. Halpern credits her father’s work ethic and empathy as guiding principles throughout her career, qualities she has carried into her own practice and patient care. Balancing the demands of motherhood and an intensive education, she graduated Columbia University with multiple honors while raising her first child and went on to complete three additional years of specialized endodontic training at NYU. Her perseverance and dedication led to national recognition for her research on External Invasive Resorption, published in The Journal of Endodontics.
Today, as the founder of Excel Endodontics in Marlboro, NJ, Dr. Halpern continues to transform the patient experience. Her practice is built on three core principles: compassion, communication, and cutting-edge technology. Using advanced tools such as 3D imaging, laser systems, and surgical microscopes, she strives to make every procedure as precise, efficient, and pain-free as possible.
Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Halpern is passionate about teaching residents at Jersey Shore Medical Center and mentoring future dentists. For her, the most rewarding part of endodontics is seeing the relief on patients’ faces when pain subsides and their natural teeth are saved. Through Excel Endodontics, she is redefining what compassionate, modern dental care looks like—one smile at a time.
