Dr. Epstein was born and raised here on the Peninsula. He attended VCU for dental school in Richmond, Virginia. After dental school, he came back to his roots and opened his office in Kiln Creek, where he spent most of his childhood. Of course, Kiln Creek looked a lot different in the 70s and 80s, but 25 years later this is still where he calls home.
The Caring Dentist came to be while Dr. Epstein was in dental school. In the waiting area, Dr. Epstein heard patients talking about how they felt that the dentists did not care about them. Dr. Epstein wanted to be different. Other offices carried the name Gentle, Affordable and so on. But at the time, none possessed the name of Caring, thus, The Caring Dentist was born. Dr. Epstein has lived up to this name over the years. He still lives up to it today!
Dr. Epstein not only loves people; he enjoys art, music and dental history. This is reflected in his office, as dental antiques are displayed throughout the office. Dr. Epstein held the title and position of the President of the History of Dentistry for many years.
