In 1977, Dr. Kolnick received his dental degree, cum laude, from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa where he was awarded the Gold Medal of the South African Dental Association. He was the first graduate of the Dental School to be awarded the prestigious University Scholarship for Overseas Postgraduate Study. In 1982, he graduated from the postdoctoral endodontic program at Columbia University in the City of New York.

His practice, Advanced Endodontics of Westchester, has four office locations and includes two partners and four associates and is dedicated to fostering excellence in endodontics through education and the incorporation of the latest technology. In 2008, Advanced Endodontics of Westchester became the first laser-assisted endodontic practice in Westchester and in 2009 incorporated Cone Beam CT into all offices. In 2011, Dr. Kolnick created The Endodontic Microsurgery Group, dedicated to performing endodontic microsurgery in a unique, state-of-the-art facility designed specifically for endodontic microsurgery and sedation.
