Clinical Professor at N.Y.U. in the Oral Medicine-Oro-Facial Pain Department, lecturer, and Spiritual Healer. Seriously, what doesn’t he do?! He is a former cosmetic dentist and has been a board member of The Association for Spirituality and Psychotherapy since 1999, where he has lectured on his technique known as "STAR" Therapy™, an acronym for Spiritual, Transformational, Affirmative, Resonance Therapy." STAR Therapy is a way to treat the physical symptoms of stress-related illness, especially Migraine-type headaches, often caused by clenching and grinding the teeth. As a motivational speaker, he has a very unique approach due to his unique background. He speaks on Happiness, mindset and changing negative thinking to positive thinking. He’s also on the Board of Laugh M.D. whose mission is to bring comedy to people in hospitals and recovery centers.
