Magnet #1027 - I Heart My Dentist

Dudes. You give me a magnet, it's gonna end up on this blog. I'm just sayin'.

So, if you're looking for a great dentist on the upper west side? Seriously love this guy and his team - they're awesome. Just the nicest folks ever. And? One of the best dentists I've ever been to.

His office actually reminds me of my old dentist back in NC. Growing up, my parents' office was in the same building as Dr. Sherman's. Actually, it was also in the same building as the local pharmacists, Mr. and Mrs. Saunders.

(Did I mention that the town I grew up in had just about 1,500 people when we moved there in the late 70s? Even now, to this day, that town's last census was 2,175.)

Anyway, we practically grew up in that little building, from cantaloupes and vanilla ice cream and orangeades introduced to us by Mrs. Saunders, to cavities filled in Dr. Sherman's office.

It was a small-town feeling of home, walking in both those places, where everyone knows whose kid you are (hard not to tell being one of six Filipino kids in town) and looked out for you when you were running around.

Hard to get that here in NY, so you have to take it where you can get it.
