Planting and growing my own fruits and vegetables have always been a passion of mine ever since I was a small child. To this day I always look forward to the spring season when the ground begins to swell, birds chirp, sun is high in the sky and your lawn never looks better. It also…

Healthy gums and teeth are important to your child's overall health. This is why your child's pediatrician will likely talk with you about good dental habits even before your child's first tooth appears. Part of that discussion will often involve the use or need for fluoride. Fluoride prevents tooth decay and strengthens the enamel of…

In 2005, when I landed a job at Dental Associates of Walpole, these guys were not my dentist. Actually, for the first couple of years of employment I would travel 40 minutes out of my way to go to the dentist I had always gone to because he knew me, my kids, my husband. You…

Janet and I have worked together for nine years and are teammates in the best sense of the word. Teamwork is an essential tool for a busy work environment and collaboration between co-workers increases productivity, ensures that the department runs efficiently, and makes for a less stressful work environment.

I long for spring flowers, warm weather and longer days. But I must patiently wait another three months for those things. This is winter life in New England. However, you…

As we begin the new year and start looking forward to all the excitement that lies ahead, I can’t help but stop and think about what an amazing year 2018 has been. Aside from starting here at Dental Associates of Walpole, the highlight of my year came on September 1st when my now husband and…

I find it kind of funny that nowadays upcycling is thought to be such a cool and trendy thing. During the Great Depression it was just plain necessity. The best example of this happens to tie in with one of my fondest Christmas memories. One of my earliest memories was how each Christmas my siblings…

Born and raised in New York, I graduated from Clark University and then received my D.M.D. from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Following graduation, my wife Doris (who I met at Clark when we were both eighteen) and I returned to New York where I had been accepted into an oral and maxillofacial surgery…
