Dr. Richard Blumenfeld is the son of a dentist,Dr. Louis Blumenfeld. Richie always enjoyed it when his father would take himto the office and teach him how to work with the drills, and to pour plaster ofparis models that would be used as study models of the patient's teeth. One special day after he helped his dad pour patient models, his fatherencouraged him to sink his whole hands into the cold wet plaster. Soon he had amodel of his hands, that were bound to become the hands of a dentist. Hestill enjoys purchasing the finest drills and other high-tech equipment for hisoffice.

Richard attended New York University andgraduated from New York University School of Dentistry, receiving a D.D.S.degree. He then joined the Air Force as a dentist, and was stationed atSheppard Air Force Base in Texas. As a Captain in the Air Force his job was tokeep the teeth of the pilots healthy, so they could fly their missions.

Then, looking for a nice town to settle in andto open an office, Dr. Blumenfeld chose West Paterson which is now WoodlandPark. He has been practicing there for many years, and will tell you thathis patients are like family to him and he takes care of them in the same wayhe takes care of his own family
