But we wanted to share a more personal look at their story with our dental family, too!

How It All Began

Dr. Max and Lauren actually met through his ex—who happened to be Lauren’s former friend. Not exactly the most typical beginning!

On Super Bowl Sunday, that relationship came to an end. Suddenly single—and with an extra ticket to see Justin Timberlake—Dr. Max did something simple: he posted on Facebook to see if anyone wanted to join him!

Lauren answered!

What could have been just a one-time outing turned into something much more—something neither of them expected in that moment!

When They Knew

Lauren says she knew early on that Dr. Max was different! His sense of humor, curiosity, and commitment to living a healthy, active life stood out right away.

Their connection grew through shared experiences—traveling, trying new things, and spending time together doing what they both love, including working out together!

But what’s kept their relationship strong over the years isn’t just shared interests—it’s communication, compromise, and showing up for each other every single day.

Dr. Max often jokes that his friends told him not to let Lauren get away—and he clearly listened!

A Strong Partnership—At Home and in the Office

What makes their relationship special personally is the same thing that makes their practice feel different professionally!

Lauren deeply admires Dr. Max’s dedication—not just to his family, but to every patient he treats. Dr. Max, in turn, credits Lauren as a constant source of support and inspiration, especially in her role as a mother.

In the practice, their partnership continues—and it shows!

Dr. Max leads as Owner and Dentist, while Lauren brings her expertise as Office Administrator and Health Insurance Agent. Together, they’ve created an environment that blends clinical excellence with genuine care and connection.

It’s not just about dentistry—it’s about people!

Love, Family & Community

Being featured in Hotspots Magazine is an honor, but for Dr. Max and Lauren, what matters most is the community they serve here in Fort Lauderdale!

Their story isn’t perfect or scripted—it’s real. And it reflects the same values they bring into their practice every day: honesty, connection, trust, and compassion.

When you walk through the doors at Dr. Max Zaslavsky, DMD, you’re not just visiting a dental office—you’re stepping into something more personal!

A place where you’re treated like family!
