My philosophy for treating patients is simple, I try to
treat every patient as I would treat a member of my own
family and I try to like every one of my patients as a
person. Because of my background in teaching I try to
educate my patients so they can make intelligent treatment
decisions.
I started my own practice when I became a faculty
member at New Jersey Dental School and have maintained a
private practice continuously.
In
1975 I graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology with a
Bachelors of Science and a Masters of Science degrees, with
majors in both Physics and Chemistry. While at Stevens, I
was awarded an UPTAM fellowship to investigate the effects
of a liver tumor on cholesterol synthesis. Several papers
were published from this research, and a new metabolic
pathway was discovered. I continued with my PHD work at
Stevens, funding my education by teaching Multivariate
Calculus and Differential Equations at Stevens and
continuing my research at New Jersey Medical School.
In 1976 I decided to go to dental school and
started my dental education at Fairleigh
Dickenson Dental School. I worked my way
through dental school fixing the dental
equipment and tutoring students in physics
in the undergraduate division. I graduated
in the top 10 in my class receiving the
Removable Prosthodontis award. I continued
my dental education at Indiana University
School of Dentistry receiving a Masters of
Science and Dentistry in 1983.s
I returned to New Jersey where I got a job as
a research associate in the Department of
Dental Materials at New Jersey Dental School. |
