Obituary: Dr. Jay M. Auerbach

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Jay M. Auerbach, devoted husband, father and respected prosthodontist, who served the Atlanta community with compassion and excellence for over forty years.

Dr. Auerbach attended Lehigh University, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, and Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry. With a sharp intellect and expert skills in restorative dentistry, he built a successful prosthodontic practice in Buckhead. He was known for his warmth and personal approach to patient relationships. He is a lifelong member of the American Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, Northern District Dental Society and Hinman Dental Society.

Jay is survived by his beloved wife, Deborah Auerbach, and his son, John Auerbach, and his son-in-law, Edward Tang, who carry forward his legacy of strength, compassion, and dedication to excellence. His memory will be cherished by his sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, and many nieces and nephews, friends, colleagues, and patients whose lives he touched over the decades.
