Dr David Says…
This past week there has been a great deal of conversation regarding the events surrounding Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga, and the perfect game that wasn’t. But before I talk about Mr. Galarraga, lets go back in time a little.
The first perfect game that I can remember was thrown by David Wells of the New York Yankees on May 17, 1998. I remember that on that day friends of mine picked me up from my apartment in Boston. I was days away from graduation at Harvard. As we pulled up to may parent’s house in Queens, my father was waiting in the driveway with a huge smile on his face. “Guess what!” he said, smiling as he described David Wells’ perfect game. I have no recollection of any pitches thrown by David Wells. Not the celebration. Not what the ESPN commentator said. Nothing. I remember my father’s smile.
"It was 25 years ago today……"

No, it's not a Beatles song. It was twenty-five years ago that Traci (mom) had her orthodontic care completed by Dr. Klempner. We all celebrated the occasion today when her son Dennis had his braces placed by Dr. K as well. "I only wanted Dr.Klempner and the Coolsmiles Team to treat my son". We have many children of patients that we have treated in our practice. We take it as the greatest compliment that we can receive. We consider it both an honor and a privilege. We would love to hear your comments.
