The Image Factor
He should know. Dr. Fier has traveled and lectured extensively
throughout his distinguished career in which he has been
awarded Diplomate status by the American Board of Aesthetic
Dentistry and made a Fellow of the American Society for Dental
Aesthetics. What’s more, he has studied hypnosis and deep
relaxation techniques, which he shows to his patients to help
them relax. He has also taught some valuable techniques and
procedures to dentists from Asia to Latin America, and places in
between.
“I enjoy imparting knowledge,” says Dr. Fier, who
started his dental career doing dentistry in the Navy after
receiving his DDS degree from New York University. An adjunct
professor at many universities, he has the opportunity to
exchange ideas with the doctors that come to study with him.
But it is with his patients that his formidable skills in cosmetic
dentistry are demonstrated.
“Understanding human behavior is
essential to developing a good chair-side manner,” Dr. Fier says. “You have to be a psychologist as much as a dentist
because you’re treating your patients as human beings first.
One of my mentors taught me that, there is a human being
attached to the teeth. He really was a master of understanding
the psychology of people in terms of dental patient behavior.”
Dr. Fier is always working, always thinking, always developing
new ways of practicing his profession, and there’s nothing he’d
prefer more. 845-354-4300 or newbeauty.com/fier.
