Dear Patients, Colleagues & Friends,

 All good things must come to an end! 

After spending more than half of my life providing dental care to the community, I have decided to retire on December 15, 2009.

 I have had a successful practice due in part to the excellence of Karen, my dental assistant and our office manager, Maryalice, who have worked with me for the last 35 years. Also contributing are my senior hygienists Carol, Maryann, Candy and Kelley, who have spent most of their adult lives maintaining the oral hygiene of our patients. I would also like to commend the rest of our staff for helping to make our office one of the finest!

 In retiring, I leave my patients in the hands of two of the finest and most ethical practitioners, Dr. Robert McIntyre and Dr. Jack Elbaum.

 As Lou Gehrig once said “I’m the luckiest guy in the world”.  I am able to walk away under my own steam, knowing I did a good job and having made hundreds of life- long friends. 

 I will continue to live in Westfield, so when you see me downtown try to remember my name.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

With Love and Affection,   

 Sheldon M. Glickman, D.D.S.
