| Introduction | I was born and raised in the Town of Rye. I graduated from the Blind Brook School System and received a Bachelors degree from Brandeis University, a dental degree (D.M.D.) from the University of Pennsylvania, a certificate in Orthodontics from Columbia University and I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontists (Board Certified). I did my General Practice Residency at the Dental Care Center of the University of Pennsylvania and my externship training at Graduate Hospital and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. I am the past International Undergraduate Representative of Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity. I have lectured to numerous dental study groups and I founded the Hutchinson Study Club. In 1991 Dr. Stanley and I won the Joseph E. Johnson Table Clinic Award for our work on Dentofacial orthopedics. My expertise is pain free orthodontics, and TMJ (facial pain) treatment with cutting edge technology. I also fabricate custom athletic mouthguards. |
