Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists Bulletin Spring 2022 - 35

Portrait of a Professional
the house (that's supposed to be a joke). I really enjoy
being among young, smart, and curious people. I think
I learned how to be a better orthodontist through teaching.
From the moment I started teaching, I tried to
impart what knowledge I had acquired after being in
practice for all those years. Though I sold my practice
and retired due to lower back problems in 2007, I have
continued to teach and to learn from my residents.
KP: Have you been recognized before for your contributions
to orthodontic education?
LR: For many years I taught with another orthodontist
in the seminars as well as in the clinic. Dr. Ron Wolf was
a close friend and a skilled orthodontist. A few years after
he stopped teaching due to medical problems, the
new seminar room was named for the two of us. What
an honor it is. I've also had the honor of being selected
" Instructor of the Year " many times by the graduating
seniors over the course of my teaching career.
KP: Have you or your spouse been involved in civic or
volunteer work?
LR: You could say my early years of teaching were
volunteer work as I received parking but no pay. As a
parent, I volunteered as a coach for both soccer and
basketball. My wife has been a docent at Los Angeles
County Museum of Art for over 20 years-as a result,
over our many years of travel we have visited museums
all over the world.
KP: Tell us about your involvement in the PCSO.
LR: From the moment I began practicing, I became a
member of the PCSO. It was a way to meet, connect,
and learn from other orthodontists. I never missed an
opportunity to attend each meeting as I felt that if you
learned just one thing, it was well worth attending.
KP: What advice do you have for new PCSO members?
LR: If asked to offer advice to new orthodontists, I
would say it is a good idea to work with somebody
in the beginning to see how an office/practice works.
Join the PCSO, as it is an excellent source for learning
and networking. The question is whether your economic
circumstances allow you to either buy or start
your own practice. There is nothing like being your
own boss. If you have the basic skills, your development,
growth, and expertise will naturally occur. Bottom
line-I tell my residents, " have good luck and stay
healthy. " Contributing to that philosophy is having
some nonprofessional interests. In my case, I played
tennis three times a week for many years, went on ski
trips with family and friends, and for the last number
of years I play bridge a few times a week.
I've been fortunate to have both good health and
luck. Having a positive foundation in your home helps
to inspire you in your office.
