FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Newswire.net—June 3, 2013)  St. Petersburg, FL—When there is a profession that has been maintained in the family tree as passed down from generations, there tends to be a sense of understanding and commitment that supersedes dental school.  Family pride and an understanding of the intangibles that are required in order to run and manage a successful family dental practice seem to predominate. 

Dr. Klein talks about his childhood where he spent much time in the office of his father where he was exposed to the dental environment all the time.  It almost became an extension of home.  There is something that is connected with a business that is generational in its genesis.  The commitment and dedication to the patient care seem to be very deep and survive any cavity or one time dental visit. 

After graduating from dental school, Dr. Klein joined his dad in his practice and learned from him whereupon, he moved to St. Petersburg and opened his doors here.  Initially, Klein met Dr. Charles Martin, an accomplished dentist who was also in a family dental practice from his dad, and they teamed up together where they found a good synergy with a likeminded dedication. 

Having grown up in Nashville, Tennessee, Dr. Klein experienced his dad practicing “old school” dentistry where he used to bring home the gold inlays and fillings that he would work on at home.  Klein was therefore around his craftsmanship and work while playing in the house and seeing all the different materials but claims that his affinity for the Country and Western music did not come about until after he left his hometown of Nashville.   

There seems to be a level of pride that Klein carries with him throughout his office which is also somewhat infectious in the way the staff and other office employees handle their patients.  For more information about Dr. Lawrence Klein and his ideas and approach to dentistry, contact his office at  Dr. Lawrence Klein   2000 5th Ave N   St Petersburg, FL 33713   (727) 894-3065  www.dentalphobics.com
