After I completed my dental training at NYU, School of Dentistry, I spent several months at the Triboro Division of Queens General Hospital where I treated TB patients for their dental needs. Thereafter, I spent two years in the United States Air Force treating pilots who were in the Tactical Air Command. (The US Air Force did not want their pilots to have toothaches while chasing enemy aircraft.) After I completed my 2 year tour of duty, I opened a dental office, and have been in private practice ever since. I moved several times as my practice matured.
During my career, I received an appointment as an attending dentist in Newark Beth Israel Hospital in New Jersey and later was appointed to the staff at NYUCD as an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Special Care unit. As an advocate of continuing denetal education, I obtained three fellowships: a Fellowship in The Academy of General Dentistry in 1978, a fellowship in The American College of Dentists in 2006, and a specialty Fellowship in Oro-Facial Pain in 2007. I am a past president of the Bergen County Dental Society and have been active for many years in the local and state dental society activities.
As I further persued my educatioanl endeavers, I was awarded a Diplomate of the Board of Orofacial Pain and a 4th fellowship relating to that same discipline.
Currently, I am a Clinical Associate Professor at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, instructing post graduate dental students on the subject of orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine.Part of my dutues is to provide lectures to the post graduate residents relating to sujects of orofacial pain.
