He graduated New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry (Rutgers School of Dental Medicine), and obtained his license to practice dentistry in New Jersey. Working as a dentist, he made all his patients feel comfortable. He treated them like family, always smiling warmly, clearly explaining needed procedures, and giving treatment options. He was always willing to set up a fee schedule for working families. His patients said he was a painless dentist and they loved and respected him. After working 35 years as a dentist, he earned the Strathmore's Who's Who of American Dentists Award. His dental accomplishments were very special.
