Dr. Alan Weisz of Libertyville Dental Associates
I am the senior Dr. Weisz. I started this practice over 43 years ago and we’ve become a family practice and I am still working after all this time. My son Sam, was now the proprietor of the practice and he is doing a great job. He took over and I’m still transitioning. I’m working about a day and a half a week and enjoying it. I really love the mix and being with my patients, which is third generation, many times, many cases, and it’s fun. So one of my favorite moments was when we opened the practice and my wife Elaine, was walking around nine months pregnant and she was holding the punch bowls. This was 42 years ago and the next day my first son was born. So I opened the practice and the next day my son was born. That was really a special moment. The first time I saw the children of the, of mine was big, and then the children of the, the patient’s mind were also very special moments like milestones. That’s what I look back on as being real special moments.
