Rivka Markel was born and raised in Belgium, and came to the States when she fell in love with a pediatric dentist from New York. Rivka and her husband, Dr. Ken Markel, own two family dental practices in Manhattan.

Rivka has a health and nutrition degree from the University of Leuven, Belgium. She has worked in healthcare management and education for almost 30 years.

Because she was working with uninsured patients every day and say their struggles, she created DentalMember, an online tool to bring patients and dentists together without middleman and the easiest way for patients to save on their dental care.

She wants to bring dentistry back where it belongs, the dental office.

Over the last few years she helped hundreds of patients in their own offices and are now ready to share their success with you. You’ll find her at www.rivkamarkel.com
