Dr. Robert Hersh has never won anything so generous in his twenty-five years of practicing periodontics – until now. Dr. Hersh, who practices in the Center for Oral Health in Freehold, recently won a complete DentalEZ operatory unit for his dental practice. The well equipped operatory includes the J/V-Generation™ Chair, Lumina™ Lights, and a Galaxy™ Delivery Unit. "I entered the DentalEZ Sweepstakes never really expecting to win the grand prize," Hersh said. "This is a dream come true."
Initial entry cards for the DentalEZ Sweepstakes were available at Dental EZ booths throughout three major dental events in 2003/2004: Greater NY Dental 2004, ADA 2003 and Yankee 2004. Dr. Hersh’s prizewinning entry was drawn from the entry he submitted at the Greater NY Dental Meeting in November of 2004.
Valued at nearly $15,000, the fully equipped DentalEZ operatory unit was the sweepstakes' grand prize. “This is great because the prize they were offering was actually a product that I have been using for the past 25 years,” said Hersh, whose five operatories are all stocked with DentalEZ equipment and chairs that have served him well since the start of his career. “Had it come from a brand that I was unfamiliar with, or a chair whose track record was not so remarkable, I would have been a little more skeptical. I was totally comfortable with the fact that it was coming from DentalEZ,” said Dr. Hersh.
Initially, Dr. Hersh’s staff was perplexed when DentalEZ associates called on the telephone several times trying to notify him that he was the grand prizewinner. "I couldn't figure out why DentalEZ would keep calling me," the lifelong resident of Freehold, New Jersey later recalled. "I forgot about entering the sweepstakes." It took a little convincing for Hersh to believe he was indeed the big winner. "I finally received a certified letter and then it hit me, this must be real! I thought it was a joke – when I finally realized it wasn't, I got really excited."
DentalEZ’s J/V-Generation Chair boasts durable beauty, with state of the art performance and advanced ergonomic efficiency. Packed with special features, the chair has the thin, narrow back and exclusive seat tilt of the renowned DentalEZ J-Chair with the flexibility of the split-back V-Chair™. The J/V-Generation Chair also provides anatomically correct hip pivot point and left/right flexibility. Additionally, new-style armrests, 8 pre-set positions, an optional “air glide” feature, and a contoured “no obstruction” design contribute to a comfortable and efficient atmosphere for both the dentist and the patient.
In addition to the J/V-Generation Chair, Dr. Hersh also won a Lumina Light and a Galaxy™Delivery Unit to complete his new operatory. Besides enhancing the appearance of his dental office with its sleek, state of the art presence, the Lumina™ Light is also a “hands-free”, feature-rich appliance that is an efficient and up-to-the-minute addition to the operatory unit. The Galaxy Unit comes laden with essential operatory tools, which made for a smooth transition without the hassle of third-party additions.
"Dr. Hersh is a long-time DentalEZ product user and we are excited that such an avid supporter won this state-of-the-art operatory equipment," said Aggie Pennington, DentalEZ Senior Product Manager. “Each one of his operatories contains a DentalEZ chair no less than 20 years old. This is a true example of quality chairs that have sustained and grown with the doctor’s practice and the dental profession throughout all these years. Dr. Hersh’s participation in the sweepstakes further builds upon the recognition of DentalEZ as a solid, reliable name in the dental professional industry.”
Hersh is thrilled, too. "The majority of my work is performed in the new operatory room,” he remarked. “Patients come in and actually request this chair because it’s just so comfortable. I like it because of the hands-free and pre-setting of positions. I couldn't be happier with it." Dr. Hersh hopes to enjoy the new equipment for many years to come.
