Testimonials from AO Volunteer Dentists
“Until you have the opportunity to make a difference for someone in need who is so appreciative, it is an impossible feeling to explain properly to others. I have been in practice for over 37 years and today was truly one of my most rewarding moments. I am thankful to all those who put this program together and invited me to participate and have the opportunity to make someone’s dental health better.” – Ira Schecter, DDS Toronto
“Treating these patients has been a highlight of my professional career. Getting to know each one personally and hearing their stories has been truly inspiring. I believe I am receiving more out of this experience than the patients receiving the dental care.” – Laurie Gordon-Shaw, DDS, Chicago
