On Friday Sept. 30,2012, 90 members from our community received free dental care and $23,000 worth of dental treatment was donated at the 3rd annual Dentistry From The Heart (DFTH) event, as Dr. Robert Shimasaki, Dr. Karrie Chu and their experienced team of professionals provided people without regular care with cleanings, fillings, root canals and extractions at Park Place Dental Care. This year they were joined by Dr. Jeff Kotsubo, an endodontist in Santa Monica, and Dr. Stephen Goei, oral surgeon in South Pasadena.
" It all comes down to wanting to provided something greater to our community," said Dr. Robert Shimasaki in a press release. Dr. Robert Shimasaki has practiced dentistry in Pasadena for over 30 years. " The services provided by Dentistry From The Heart helps more than just a patient's teeth, it gives them a renewed reason to smile."
Patients gathered outside the office doors at midnight and treatment began at 6 a.m., then ended at 4 p.m., said Dr. Karrie Chu; and despite the steady flow of patients throughtout the day, the event was a success due to help from their team and volunteering dental professionals - dentists and dental hygienist.
"All of our team members were thankful to help someone who had been waiting for hours but our patients expressed nothing but thanks and appreciation," said Dr. shimasaki.
Mayor bill Bogaard of Pasadena was in attendance. His visit was encouraging to our team of volunteers as well as the community. " It's such a great cause especially in a time when our community is in such need for it", said Mayor Bogaard
Special thanks to all our volunteers: Dr. Jeff Kotsubo (endodontist), Dr. Stephen Goei (oral surgeon), Christopher Cheung (videographer), Barry Conner (photographer) and Zoila & Alfred Rodriguez.
