Clinician of the Year
Paul
Feuerstein, DMD

Paul Feuerstein has been a fixture for more than
half of Yankee’s history. At the forefront of technology, having installed
one of dentistry’s first “in office computers” as early as 1978, Dr.
Feuerstein has honed his knowledge in his high tech dental office and
shared that knowledge with his colleagues at Yankee Dental Congress.
Always willing to design a new course for the Society, he has been
instrumental in bringing others into the computer age, introducing them to
such things as the internet, digital radiology, and other technologies.
Dr. Feuerstein is also the high tech writer for The Journal of
the Massachusetts Dental Society. Dr. Feuerstein is the consummate
volunteer, always available to help with no expectation of anything in
return.
