Whether she’s easing a patient’s pain, restoring a tooth, or boosting someone’s confidence with aesthetic treatments, Dr. Popčakova is driven by the real, immediate impact her work makes in people’s lives.
Being first in her family to attend college, Dr. Popčakova is proud to be a skilled dentist and does not take for granted the privilege of sound dental care.

Dr. Popčakova is also constantly expanding her knowledge and clinical skills so she can continue offering top-tier care tailored to her patients’ lifestyles.
Before her dental career, Dr. Popčakova spent six years bartending, where she honed the art of conversation and learned how to serve up both cocktails and comfort. When she’s not at the office, you’ll find her:
- Cooking up new recipes for loved ones.
- Exploring the city’s ever-changing food scene.
- Jogging along the Hudson or unwinding with a workout.
- Enjoying live music.
- Spinning classic vinyl.
- Traveling.
- Soaking up beach days.
- Savoring a glass of wine with her beloved kitty-cat by her side.
Dr. Popčakova thrives on the energy of New York City and is endlessly inspired by its cultural richness, history, and fast pace—making every day here an adventure in connection, growth, and purpose.
