How do you stay up-to-date on the latest techniques on braces and Invisalign?
I progress through continuing education at schools, online lectures, and visiting other offices.
What is the most gratifying part of practicing orthodontics?
The smiles on patients' and parents' faces the the day the braces come off, more than anything.
What were the most memorable events in your 25 years of practicing orthodontics?
Playing softball with other SF dentists - our team was called the molars; patient parties; and days on which we take braces off.
Where do you bump into patients?
Everywhere: On the streets, attending church, at the movies, at Giants and Warriors games, on BART, and while jogging.
Do patients recognize you outside of the office?
Yes, most of the time. But they always say I look different out of my white jacket.
How do you remember everybody?
In all honesty I don't. I may not remember their names, but I remember their smiles.
