Over the years, he expanded and brought on the most reputable prosthodontists in New York City and Scarsdale -- Harold Litvak, Martin Kantor, and Lawrence Calagnato -- to create what was regarded as the most prestigious and sought-after prosthodontics group practices in the world. Throughout his career, he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to education and served as a role model and mentor to countless aspiring dentists. His dedication to teaching has helped shape the careers of generations of dental professionals.
