MDNLI crescent and tooth mark Est. Long Island · Members-built

The digital home for every Muslim dentist
on Long Island.

A public directory, a running record of who's graduating, who's opening a practice, and who's hosting the next iftar — one place, built by the network, for the network.

Why this exists

Not a listserv. A network you can actually see.

MDNLI started as a group chat of a dozen dentists who kept running into each other at the same masjid, the same CE courses, the same Long Island study clubs. That WhatsApp group is about three years old now and barely gets used. This site is a lower-effort way to stay a real network — a public directory a patient (or another dentist) can actually search, instead of a chat nobody opens.

Every section below started as a request from a member. It's still being built — new pieces go up as we need them.

01

Find your people

Searchable directory, filterable by specialty, city, and language.
02

Know who's who

Specialty-based directory — with only two Pakistani Muslim oral surgeons on the Island, specialty alone tells you a lot.
03

Move as a community

Events, CE, iftars, picnics — and a record of who showed up.
Member directory

Every member, one search away.

Open to the public. Filter by specialty or town, and click through to a member's practice website. Sample entries shown — the full directory populates as members join.

Student corner

For everyone still on the way.

Pre-dental through residency — a quick look at where each stage fits into the network.

Pre-dental

Before dental school

Undergrads and post-bacs working toward the DAT and applications, often connected to the network through a member they already know.

Dental students

In dental school

Currently enrolled, working through the clinical years, boards, and figuring out what comes after graduation.

Residents

Specialty training

Past dental school, now in an OMFS, Perio, Ortho, Endo, Pedo, or Pros residency or fellowship.

If that's you, you're welcome in the network. Reach out to any member directly, or introduce yourself through the member portal.

Events

CE by day. Iftar by night.

Study clubs, Eid gatherings, family picnics — RSVP and see who's already going.

Consultants we work with

People our members actually use.

Not members — outside professionals who work with several MDNLI practices. Listed here rather than buried in a group chat.

Quarterly highlight

One member, every quarter.

"I opened my practice two towns from where I grew up. Half my first patients found me through this network before I even had a sign up."
