Vernon's Story
"The lies behind the truth and the truth behind those lies that are behind truth..."
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. It looks like I've either been getting a lot done or I've been way too busy. Does't matter, I've been enjoying whatever it is I've been doing. Still enjoying what I do. I'm a pediatric dentist/pediatrician in Palo Alto, Ca. I also teach at Stanford Med. School (Adj. Clinical Asst. Professor in the Dept. of Pediatrics and the Dept. of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. My subspecialty is the dental management of children with complex medical disorders. Most dentists do the usual fillings, "caps", extractractons and cleaning thingy. However if a child has cancer, some kind of organ transplant like a liver transplant for example most dentists have no idea what to do. Physicians are pretty much in the same quandry. Sometimes dental problems in a child can exacerbate their medical condition. If a physician happens upon such a situation all they know is to refer to a dentist. So, what we have here is a Catch-22 where these kids can fall in between the cracks. Usually these types of kids are seen in dental schools, however there are some private practices that this as well. Mind is one of those.

blems can sometimes wipe ouf a family's medical insurance or life savings, some families have no insurance and there are some who don't have the money.

I've always felt that no child should be left untreated because of their family's financial condition. Therefore my practice treats any and all children that have these types of problems regardless of financial condition. As you might expect, a fair amount of the kids we treat are pro-bono (we treat for free).
On the proviso that all work and no play doth a nebbish make, I've evolved, or degenerated, dependingon how you look at it, into becoming addicted to the car "thingy." Want to blow some money? Wanna be absatively and posalutely impractical? Blow your money on a car of absalutely no practical or socially redeeming value! Of course you may wind up in a series of animated discussions with your wife or girlfriend but hey! "You pays yer money and yuh takes yer chances." If you know what a Cavellino is you'll know what I'm wasting what little money I have on. Enough said... Any and all, drop me a line. I'd love to hear from yuh.

P.S. - If you've seen my pictures you'll be able to understand why I always seem to wind all those Ghandi look-a-like contests.
