Dr. Barbara Tamulewicz, DDS

A Legacy of Excellence,

A Lifetime of Transforming Smiles

Some careers are defined by achievement. Others are defined by impact. Dr. Barbara Tamulewicz, DDS, has built hers on both.

For more than three decades, Dr. Tamulewicz has distinguished herself as a respected leader in dentistry, earning the trust of generations of patients while continually advancing her knowledge, expertise, and commitment to exceptional care. In recognition of her remarkable career, dedication to her patients, mentorship of future dental professionals, and lasting contributions to the field of dentistry, Preferred Health Magazine proudly honors Dr. Barbara Tamulewicz, DDS among the 2026 Doctors of Distinction.

This prestigious recognition represents another milestone in a career already marked by extraordinary accomplishments. Dr. Tamulewicz’s relationship with Preferred Health Magazine and the Patient Preferred network began in 2017, when she was named a Top Patient Preferred Dentist and achieved the remarkable distinction of being ranked #1 in Dentistry—an honor showcased before millions on the iconic Thomson Reuters Building in Times Square, New York City. The recognition was reaffirmed in 2018, further cementing her reputation as an exceptional professional in her field.

Her impressive list of accomplishments continued to grow. Dr. Tamulewicz graced the cover of Preferred Health Magazine in 2020 and was featured in PHM’s Best in Medicine in 2021. In 2022, she was recognized among the Top 50 Most Distinguished Professionals in Medicine, followed in 2023 by the Empowered Women in Medicine Award, celebrating her dedication to dentistry, patient education, leadership, and mentorship.

Yet behind every accolade is a much deeper story—one centered on people.

At her private practice in Brooklyn, Dr. Tamulewicz brings together decades of experience, advanced technology, and a comprehensive approach to dental care. Her expertise encompasses general and cosmetic dentistry, root canal therapy, crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, oral surgery, removable and fixed prosthodontics, periodontal surgery, and restorative dentistry.

Her philosophy is simple but powerful: exceptional dentistry is about more than treating a tooth or creating a beautiful smile. It is about understanding the individual behind the smile and delivering care that inspires confidence and trust. That commitment has earned Dr. Tamulewicz the loyalty and admiration of her patients, many of whom value not only her extensive clinical knowledge, but also her compassionate approach and unwavering dedication to their well-being.

Beyond the Practice

Dr. Tamulewicz’s influence extends well beyond her private practice. A passionate educator and mentor, she serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor at New York Medical College, where she shares her knowledge and experience with residents and emerging dental professionals. She also serves as an attending physician at Metropolitan Hospital Center, where she contributes to the education and training of medical professionals in operating room protocols. Through teaching and mentorship, she is helping shape the future of healthcare while passing along the standards of excellence that have defined her own career.

She continued to refine her expertise through a prestigious fellowship at Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital in New York. Today, she remains actively involved in her profession through memberships with the American Dental Association and the New York State Dental Association, as well as her distinction as a Laureate of the American Academy of Dental Sciences.
