A mission statement or objective that I ascribe to in my practice is as follows: Dr. Hersh and his staff are committed to enhancing the quality of life for those people who choose to come to us for their orthodontic health care. This includes excellence in our Nelson Hersh DDS, MS orthodontic results. Equally 'as important we are Licensed Specialist committed to the creation of an environment that is open, friendly and a fun place to be. When someone leaves our office, we want him or her to feel better about themselves. We treat every child as if they were our own. We are honored and privileged to be able to enhance one's life. It is important to remember that this applies to both children and adults even though our practice is 85% children. We feel successful in our treatment, when our patient smiles more, is happier and has greater confidence and self-esteem. This is illustrated by the following short story. We had a young lady who at 11 or 12 was not happy or smiling very often. We were able to be positive influence upon her life and she at the conclusion of orthodontists was an extroverted, happy, smiling person. She unfortunately passed away but her parents told me that her last few years were very happy, and that she frequently commented that her smile was one of her assets, and she enjoyed smiling and was truly happy. A plaque was placed in my office that reads "A hundred years from now it will not matter what ones bank account was, the sort of house one lived in, or the kind of car driven...but the world may be a better place and different because I, or you were important in the life of a child.
