THE JEWISH NEWS
ENTERTAINMENT
What began as
a hobby for
Dr. Jeffrey Dembs
has turned into
a second career
BETTY ELSTER
Special to The Jewish News
ome people complain
that there aren't enough hours in a
day to complete everything they've
set out to accomplish. Or, they waste
their lives wishing that they had
chosen the other path to a career vs.
the one they have actually walked
on.
Dr. Jeffrey L. Dembs subscrib&
to the theory that it isn't necessary
to choose. You. can have it all — at
the same time — however unrelated
the careers may seem.
Dembs is a pediatrician by day;
a disc-jockey/social director on
weekends; a "doctor-in-the-house" at
concerts; and a co-partner of a
"Dr. Disco" Jeffrey Dembs spins the tunes at a local wedding.
