Mr David Podolnick,

I was once asked, do you like dentistry or do you love dentistry? I said, ''What's the difference?' They said, 'You can like your wife, but not love her, or you can love your wife and not really like her.' Luckily I both like and love dentistry and my wife of eighteen years. I'm a local with sand in my shoes growing up in Margate. My father is an MD and that instilled in me the thought I would be too. I also loved working with my hands, building models, fixing things, and painting. One day I woke up and realized if you combine medicine and working with your hands you get dentistry and I've never even thought of another career since. I attended Drexel University, then Temple University. Since graduating from the number one ranked University of Maryland in 1992 with a D.D.S. degree, I've loved providing patients with the best and most advanced dental care available. Without any hesitation, I would go into dentistry again. There is nothing better than having a career that is fulfilling on so many different levels. Being able to give relief to someone in pain is incredibly satisfying or to take a broken front tooth and make it whole again. I was honored to receive a Top Doc award in 2009, 2013, and 2014. I've been in the Who's Who book several times. I am and have been affiliated with multiple dental organizations. But the best award I keep receiving is when a patient refers someone they know or love to see me. Continuing education is probably the most important part of my ongoing education. My staff and I are always learning better ways to care for our patients and strive to provide 1' class customer care. I'm always searching for better methods, materials, and easier delivery of dentistry. Come for a unique visit, that I pledge will be the best dental experience you've ever had.
