The Alpha Omega International Dental Fraternity is the oldest international dental organization. Alpha Omega (AO) also has the distinction of being the oldest international Jewish medical organization.   AO was founded at the University of Maryland School of Dental Medicine in 1907 by a group of dental students. During those times, Jewish students were not permitted to form social groups so the Maryland students formed AO to fight discrimination. Little did they know but their efforts have created a lasting imprint on AO members to this day. Discrimination is not as prevalent but it still occurs.   The AO international community is comprised of over 100 alumni and students chapters in ten countries. AO is an inclusive organization that welcomes people from all cultural backgrounds but our Vision, Mission, and Values are guided by our three tenets of professionalism, fraternalism, and commitment to Judaic values.   Alpha Omega Vision: An international Jewish dental organization striving to enrich the lives of

I have been treating patients and their families for over 25 years and I still love being a dentist. My goal is to make your dental treatment comfortable, attractive and long lasting. I always ask myself when I’m diagnosing a problem if the treatment I’m proposing is what I’d want for myself or my wife, or my children. I always present multiple options for treatment if possible and let my patient chose what level of care they want.   My wife Tina and I moved from San Antonio to our ranch in Miller Grove, Texas in 1997. We have two grown children, Natalie, James and our daughter-in-law Dorothea. We have two grown children Natalie and James. We enjoy living in the country, gardening, art and spending time with friends.   Education: B.S. in Biology from the University of Houston B.S. in Psychology from the University of Houston D.D.S. from the University of Texas in San Antonio USDI Certificate in Orthodontics Continuing Education courses in: Endodontics, Conscious Oral Sedation, Oral Surgery, Dental Material U

In 1987, Mark Hollis, a practice management consultant in New York City, began to research practice management software for several clients and friends, including a dentist and a family practitioner.   Mark determined that, thanks to their ease of use, Macintosh computers would be best for his clients.
