I worked for 25 years running my own dental practice. I am a very good
dentist and am really good with patients. For the last 3 years, I have
worked as an independent contract dentist. In other words, I am employed
based on earning a percentage of what I produce. My job is to come to work
see patients and treat them with outstanding care, professionalism and top
quality dentistry. I took over a practice, which produced $800,000 per
year with two dentists working it. I insist on working hard because it is
part of my nature.
I practice all prosthodontic fields, including implants. To date, I am
building on already placed implants, but am more than willing to place
implants with proper training. I practice level 1 and 2 periodontics,
anterior endodontics, some extractions and emergency care and of course
cosmetic restoration of beautiful smiles.
During my first 25 years, I have worked for 5 years in emergency medicine
with a very busy local rescue squad. I have training and experience as the
Infectious Disease Control Officer, for the entire rescue squad of 250
members. I am very knowledgeable and experienced in trauma and cardiac
emergencies. I was also Co-Captain of the Water Rescue and Recovery Team.
Now I need to address something if you are thorough, you will find out. In
March of 2008, I sold my practice in Charlottesville. I also sold my house
the next month, in April. I moved to Dublin, Virginia. I stayed in a
hotel for one month while looking for a place to live. I finally found a
home. However, in all this confusion, I forgot to renew my license on time
and change my address with the Board of Dentistry. I also did not take 15
hours of "approved" CE according the Board. I had somewhere near 100 hours
of CE, including ACLS and many other medical subjects. I was training in
University of Virginia hospital as a medic, learning to intubate patients,
start intravenous lines and administer drugs. However, this was not enough
because my CE hours were not "approved". Therefore I received a Reprimand
on my record.
Thank you for your consideration
