The Journey
In the beginning, it was a struggle. Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry had a handful of their own patients, but they had to work in other dental offices to make ends meet. They never gave up their dream of having a successful practice of their own.
鈥淚t was joyful,鈥 said Dr. Bela. 鈥淚t was difficult at times.鈥
One patient at a time, they built their practice slowly by talking to people. And over time, people began to gravitate toward them and their office.
鈥淲e are two genuine people. And I always thought that was very important,鈥 said Dr. Garry.
And their instincts were right. Thirty years later, the doctors have two warm and welcoming offices in New York City and Brooklyn with an abundant array of services.

Services
When you鈥檙e as enthusiastic as Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry are about continued education in your field, the list of services your office offers grows. Their offerings are truly impressive, from cleanings, teeth whitening, and Invisalign to digital and laser dentistry.
Keeping Relationships Central
Although both Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry are leading professionals in advanced certifications and passionate about cutting-edge technology, they still put their relationships with their patients and each other first. They began their practice by connecting with people, and this tradition of communication has continued all these years later.
鈥淪ome patients drop by just to catch up 鈥 to see how we are doing,鈥 said Dr. Bela. 鈥淲e love that they will show up just to say hi.鈥
Perhaps this is because kindness is at the heart of all they do. Dr. Garry puts himself in his patients鈥 shoes 鈥 or, to be more specific, the dental chair. 鈥淓very person who comes through our doors is important. I want them to feel that. It鈥檚 important that they feel cared for while in the dentist chair and that their individual needs are met.鈥
The close relationships Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry have with their patients sometimes result in amusing exchanges.
鈥淩ecently, we were in Miami walking down a street, and out of nowhere, one of our patients stopped us!鈥 said Dr. Bela. 鈥淗e said: 鈥極h! You鈥檙e my dentist! I鈥檒l call you when I鈥檓 back in New York.鈥欌 Even out-of-town patients are eager to approach them.
Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry have only gotten closer through the years. And now, to Dr. Bela鈥檚 delight, thanks to their work with implants, they get to work together more often now.
