I would like to thank Dr. Gelfand and Magic 106.1 for having the "Magic Smile Makeover Contest". I won the smile of a lifetime!
The staff made me feel very comfortable - let me know what to expect at each visit and "cuddled" me a bit when I felt overwhelmed. Everyone took good care of me.
I never would smile to show my teeth, but that has all changed now. I had eight veneers put across my front teeth and when I saw my new smile, I cried with joy. Thank you to Dr. Gelfand for the wonderful smile I now have today. Also, thank you to all the staff; you are all so nice and very helpful!
Thank You,
Sherrie Snow
