Continuing Education:

Buzz Waterston always has gone well beyond the state requirements for continuing education.  In 1998-1999, he has attended over 165 hours of continuing education courses. In 2000 alone, he attended over 130 hours of dental courses.  He is an active member of the Internet Dental Forum and the Crown Council E-mail Network, and receives an average of 150 e-mail messages daily from leading-edge dentists around the world.  His e-mail mentors include some of the world's top speakers on implants, air abrasion, high-tech dentistry, and anesthetic techniques.  Dr. Waterston subscribes to the two top newsletters on advances in dentistry, and learns from continuing education videotapes several times a week.  His weekly study group includes periodontists, an oral surgeon, an orthodontist and other general dentists.

Achievements:

Buzz Waterston was invited to speak on "TENS and Superior Gentleness in Dentistry" at the 1999 annual meeting of the Society for Advanced Dentistry in Breckenridge, Colorado.  He has been a member of the Society since its inception. 

Of all of Dr. Waterston's achievements, he is most proud of the many, many children he has seen grow up without dental fear; of the beautiful smiles he has created and the way he has made people feel better about themselves; and the wonderful long term relationships of 10, 15, 20 years and longer, that he has achieved with some truly wonderful patients.

Community Service:

A leading role in the Smiles for Life fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, nationwide provider of care for critically and chronically ill children.  Smiles for Life has raised over $8,000,000 for St. Jude in 1998 - 2000.  Buzz Waterston's appearances in feature articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer (twice) and Delaware County Daily Times were instrumental in helping Delaware Valley dentists dramatically increase their fundraising for St. Jude in 1999.  Dr. Waterston's office alone raised almost $11,000 for St. Jude in 1999.  He was interviewed by Fox 29 news twice in 2000 for his fundraising efforts and for introducing new dental technology.

Hobbies and Interests:

Treating his patients as they would want to be treated, and going that extra mile to assure satisfaction has always been Dr. Waterston's credo.
