I ve always tried to build bridges. Helping people has been my passion. I know things can be better than they are, and

I want to be part of a solution. It’s why I became a dentist; it’s why I was a professor for 30 years at Columbia; it’s why I help poverty-stricken children of all religions in Jerusalem; and it’s why I am opening a branch of Manhattan Dental Health across the GW Bridge.

YES, I am opening another office in New Jersey.

YES, I will still be practicing 4 days in Manhattan.

NO, I will NOT be retiring anytime soon.

You might be asking, why I am doing this?

I’m unhappy with what I see happening in health care. I see the personalized, relationship-based, big-picture care that I’ve practiced all my career and continue to refine rapidly becoming extinct. Our society has opted for Urgent Care rather than wellness, preventive, and long-term-focused care. Too many focus on solutions before uncovering causes, resulting in short-term gain and long-term failure. I’ve witnessed this even with my own family’s care. I hope you refuse to give in to this trend too!

There’s a perfect storm that is sweeping away practices such as MDH. You might have seen it; you might have heard stories from

friends and family. Doctors aren’t spending the time. Your time isn’t respected. People are becoming numbers. The high cost of technology, the economy, high student debt, insurance pressures, risk-averse banks and hedge funds seeking high returns on their money have all come together to make the corporate takeover of dentistry — like the hospital takeover of medical offices — a trend that is gaining speed across the country.

I lecture all over, and I’m told by everyone that practices such as mine cannot be built today. Young dentists complain they have no option but to seek employment in insurance-driven, corporate-managed clinics that are driving out the traditional practice. It’s not good for doctors, and it’s definitely not good for patients.

Bergen County deserves the kind of care that Manhattan has enjoyed. The rest of the country does too, and I want to show

that ideal, whole-body focused dental care can still be successful in today’s “attention-deficient” environment. People from all over the world have come to our Manhattan practice and reaped the benefit for nearly 40 years. Now, people from New Jersey and Rockland County won’t have to deal with the bridge, the traffic, and the parking.

Manhattan Care Without the Hassle!

Like our Manhattan practice, we will focus on medically based care that involves your entire health care team. We will continue to look at causes before suggesting solutions and communicate with physicians and any member of your health care team necessary to provide you with optimal health and long-term, sustainable wellness.

Manhattan Dental Health – New Jersey will open. It’s located just off Route 4, near the Riverside Square Mall in River Edge.

Here’s the address:

117 Kinderkamack Rd, suite 200,River Edge, N.J. 07661

Manhattan Dental Healthis Crossing the Bridge

You’ve heard traveling is more about the journey than the destination, but why not have both? A journey by train is one of the most classic and relaxing ways to see the country, and when your destination is the beautiful City by the Bay, you really can’t go wrong.

The California Zephyr is well known as one of the world’s most scenic passenger rail routes, running daily from Chicago, Illinois to Emeryville, California, just across the iconic bay bridge from San Francisco. The journey takes around two days and showcases the sort of jaw-dropping landscapes only found in the Wild West. At 2,438 miles in length, the route passes through the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevadas before reaching San Francisco. From the observation car, you can behold

the views of Ruby Canyon and pass through the 6-mile-long Moffat Tunnel over the Continental Divide.

Get a roomette in the sleeping car, which sleeps two people, and settle in for the trip. Bring a good book for the lulls in scenery. It’s a long way across the country! The dining car on the train is a great place to socialize and meet your fellow passengers, and you’ll love the view from the lounge car on the upper deck — the best seat in the house.

San Francisco welcomes you at the end of your long journey, and reaching the edge of the world will feel even sweeter after having spent the last two days watching over half the country fly by. From the station, take the Emery Go Round to the Bay Area Rapid

Transit (BART) to head into the city, or take a Thruway Motorcoach over the San Francisco Bay Bridge to enjoy the skyline as you approach.

Once you’ve made yourself at home, spend a few days getting to know San Francisco. Walk the Golden Gate Bridge, visit the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and dine with the locals in the Mission neighborhood. Missing the beach? Take the N-Judah line straight out to Ocean Beach for a walk in the sand and a Frisbee toss or two.

There are so many ways to get from point A to point B, but traveling by train is certainly the most memorable. On the California Zephyr, you can have the best of your journey and revel in your destination, too. Michael

Monday has unfortunately earned the reputation of disdain from every nine-to-fiver and school-going person on the planet. It’s the clichéd day to hate, but it doesn’t have to be. How you define the day — good, bad, or somewhere in between — all comes down to how you start your morning. Here’s what you can do to turn your next Monday into a day that sets a tone of calm and success for the week.

Use Sunday night to your advantage. While you’re watching

your favorite Sunday night TV programs (or during the commercial

breaks) make lunch for the following day — or heck, make lunch for the entire

week. While you’re at it, prep the coffee maker, organize your clothes, charge your phone, and set out your wallet, keys, and other accessories you carry on the daily.

Get out of bed early. Set your alarm slightly earlier than you normally would. Then, go to bed at a reasonable time to ensure you get the hours of rest you need. Not only will you be able to hit the snooze button guilt-free (you’re going to do that regardless of what any article recommends), but you’ll be out of bed at least a few minutes early. You’ll gain

several precious minutes to do everything you need before heading out the door.

Keep breakfast simple. You can still have a nutritious and delicious breakfast without a production — or having to rely on unhealthy fast food. Come morning, make a simple breakfast. Keep the ingredient list short. A healthy breakfast sandwich doesn’t need to have anything more than egg and avocado between two pieces of toast. That’s good eats. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, sure add meat or cheese, but nutritionally, the healthy fats, proteins, and complex carbs in the toast, egg, and avocado will take you all the way to lunchtime.

directions1. Preheat oven to 425° F.

Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine panko and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

3. Working in batches, dredge asparagus in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in panko mixture, pressing to coat.

4. Place asparagus in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

5. Serve immediately.

A smile is the first thing that people see when you’re at your best — happy, carefree, and confident. A beautiful smile can change your mood, make you fall in love, or brighten someone’s day. But braces can be awkward and painful, and as adults, they can also be a little embarrassing. Well now there’s a better way to get the smile you want without the brace-face.

If you struggle with crooked and crowded teeth, or want to fix an overbite or gap, invest in yourself and allow your smile to shine with Invisalign — a customized series of aligners that avoid the pain and discomfort of braces while still getting great results. These aligners gently and gradually adjust your teeth without any metal brackets or wires. Every step of the process is tailored to fit your needs. The best part is that you’ll look great throughout the process (shhh … no one has to know your teeth are getting straighter under these invisible

aligners), and you’ll get the confidence you want with minimal interference on your daily life.

Invisalign not only offers cosmetic and comfort advantages, but has health and cost benefits as well. Brushing and flossing properly with braces can take up to 30 minutes, and there is a risk of discoloration to the teeth once brackets are removed. This inconvenience can be avoided. Invisalign’s trays are removable, which makes

brushing and flossing a breeze. This allows patients to maintain optimal tooth health throughout their adjustment and avoid the expense of additional dental procedures. In fact, once you make your treatment plan, you’ll only have to see your dentist once every six weeks, compared to once approximately every three weeks with traditional braces. Fewer office visits and procedures saves time as well as money and allows you to get out there and shine!
