He is highly regarded by his patients as “the absolute best” and is one of the few dentists who can boast that he has treated 3 and 4 generations of several families. But come mid-June, Dr. Greenbaum’s white coat, with his name in green embroidery, will remain crisply pressed and unworn, as he of cially starts his retirement. “I’ve been fortunate to do something I love, but it’s time for a new chapter in my life; an opportunity to do new things, explore new places, with the luxury of time,” Dr. Greenbaum remarks as he views the many awards that ll his of ce. Nevertheless, Dr. Greenbaum was still concerned about his patients’ well-being once he retired. “My foremost concern was nding the right person. I knew this would take a special person who could blend a high degree of training and experience with the personal touch and caring that patients have come to expect in this of ce.” Little did he know that his successor, Dr. William Scott, was no stranger. Dr. Greenbaum had been introduced to him through one of his lifelong patients. He mentored Dr. Scott throughout dental school, during his Residency and in the early years of his private practice. “I personally wrote Will’s letter of recommendation for his application to dental school. My wife and I attended his wedding. I have no doubt that Dr. William Scott is the best candidate to continue the Star Dental legacy,” Dr. Greenbaum stated with certainty. Dr. William Scott, a general dentist, has certainly forged an admirable reputation for himself. He chartered his own 5-star dental practice, Deluxe Dental Group in Warren, has won several prestigious accolades such as ‘Top Doc’, ‘America’s Best Dentist’, and ‘Top Invisalign Dentist’, and is described by his patients as “highly recommended with his patients’ best interest in mind.” It’s no wonder that Dr. Steven Greenbaum chose him as his successor of The Star Dental Group. “I amsohonored andhumbled tohavebeen given this opportunity and to be selected to continue Dr. Greenbaum’s legacy. I look forward to providing the best care and continuing the relationships that Dr. Greenbaum has fostered throughout the years,” Dr. Scott reported. “I wish Dr. Greenbaum a happy retirement. It has been an absolute privilege to have worked alongside such an incredible dentist and person. Thank you for all you have done for me,” recounted Dr. Scott, as he greeted one of Dr. Greenbaum’s patients in the waiting room. “Thank you for everything.” By: Nicole Tegge Dr. Scott & Dr. Greenbaum at the Central Dental Society’s Presidential Dinner THE STAR DENTAL GROUP 161 Washington Valley Road Warren NJ 07059 732-563-0066 www.warrensbestdentist.com PASSING THE TORCH: THE STAR DENTAL GROUP’S LEGACY CONTINUES America’s Best Dentist winner, Dr. William Scott, is The Star Dental Group’s newest addition C C “My foremost concern was nding the right person.
