I am fortunate to have found orthodontics as a life passion. It is a uniquely rewarding profession, and it suits my skills as a practitioner. The good orthodontist must combine several innate attributes: a good eye for angles and spacial relationships, patience, an ability to listen and communicate, and an ability to get teeth straight. (That last one was a joke)

I attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine from 1985 to 1989, and at age 44 as of July 2007, I consider myself neither inexperienced, nor archaic (good SAT word). After practicing general dentistry for two years, I was accepted into an orthodontic specialty program at Montefiore/Albert Einstein, a small, yet highly regarded residency. In 1994, I established both the Riverdale and Manhattan practices.

In 2005, I became President of the local chapter of the American Dental Association. I am certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association and sponsored by the American Association of Orthodontists. I have trained nearly 1000 practitioners starting out with Invisalign, and I've spoken at various local study clubs. I serve as a consultant and faculty member for Align Technology, the parent company of Invisalign, helping doctors around the country, on a daily basis, with their Invisalign cases.
