Dental Health Guides
I wish to serve you in the most caring and conscientious way that I can. I want to deliver the absolute highest quality dentistry in an empathetic and compassionate manner. You can expect me to treat you the way I would want to be treated if you were my dentist--in a comfortable, gentle manner with the assistance of a superb, professional staff. We all have fun each day enjoying what we do! I have maintained a cosmetic-oriented restorative practice in Beverly Hills, California since 1972. After completing my undergraduate education at the University of California, Los Angeles, I graduated from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. I am a charter diplomate of the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry, and have attained fellowships in the American Society for Dental Aesthetics, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Academy of Dento-Facial Esthetics, the Academy of Dentistry International and the American College of Dentists. I have been interviewed frequently on local and national television about cosmetic and high tech dentistry. In addition, I have lectured nationally and internationally on cosmetic, high tech and implant dentistry, and have written several articles for various dental and health journals. In additon to those previously mentioned, I maintain memberships in the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, International Congress of Oral Implantologists and its Prosthetic Division. I am passionate about what I do in life--be it dentistry or my leisure activities. Tennis, running, snow and water skiing, travel and underwater photography are a few of my spare time activities. I have lived and studied in Argentina, Italy, India, Venezuela and England. I speak Spanish, Italian, French and Japanese. My wife, Marsha, and I have been married since 1971. She is a psychotherapist in North Hollywood, California, and has earned two Master's degrees. We have two sons. Brad is a Pediatrician in Walnut Creek, California. My daugher-in-law, Elise, is also an MD, in Family Practice. They are proud parents of two sons, Nicholas (9/16/04) and Ethan (9/10/07). Kevin, our younger son, is a computer specialist and college student (studying Business at CSUN), and also lives in Studio City.
