Dr. Steinberg’s achievements span a wide range of professional and personal activities. Most recently, he was voted again as one of Philadelphia’s top dentists (2010, 2014, 2016-2019)           After attending Temple University for just three years, he was accepted into their School of Dentistry where he was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. In 1980, he received his Doctorate Degree in Dental Surgery and continued his formal training with post-graduate education at West Jersey Hospital’s residency program before entering private practice in Center City, Philadelphia.           In 1997, the Academy of General Dentistry honored Dr. Steinberg with their prestigious Mastership Degree which only 1% of practicing dentists had historically achieved. Again, in 2013, Dr. Steinberg was presented with the Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition award from the Academy of General Dentistry (Only 300 other dentists in the country have received this award). In addition, Dr. Steinberg has been educated at both Pankey Institute and Spear Education where he currently teaches as a visiting faculty.           Outside dentistry, he is a caring husband, father and grandfather who is active in his community and several charities. His hobbies include music (guitar, bass and piano) and sports (golf, baseball and Tae Kwon Do). Yet, his favorite hobby is spending time with friends and family, especially his two grandchildren.   FFS Podcast Promotional Links:  ONLY $397: Dental Membership Master Course with Dr. Chris Phelps www.membershipmastercourse.com Dental Membership Direct www.dentalmembershipdirect.com Dental Financing Direct www.dentalfinancingdirect.com   About Dr. Sonny Spera Dr. Sonny Spera graduated from Union Endicott High School in 1981.
