From Women in Dentistry March 2022 interview with Dr. Alisa Kauffman
Anyone who has a house bound senior in their lives knows how challenging it is to help them access medical care. When my dear father Haim who has limited mobility and suffers from dementia recently required emergency dental care my family and I personally experienced those challenges Having gone through this I realized how many other people like my father require care but simply can’t access it. So when I came across Dr. Alisa Kauffman and her company Geriatric House Call Dentistry I immediately reached out out to to her to to find out out more.
