10-29-10 Update ... I have now been practicing dentistry for 43+ years ... LLU 1968 ...
Dentistry is the best thing I have ever done (Other than marrying Becky) and would do both over again in a
heartbeat! .. (But not in CA) This is the Golden Age of Dentistry with all the new digital, CAD/CAM, Electric
Handpieces,
etc. technology! I will never retire! My hero is Dr. Bob .. Robert
Horseman DDS .. He was a Fighter pilot in WWII, Humor columnist for the Ca Dental journal at 90 years old now,
and has finally retired this past Jan 2010 from dentistry .. My goal was to work one day longer than he did ..
but he set the bar pretty high..Geeze!
If It Were Not For The United States Military,
There'd Be NO United States of America! THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT

You can Google any of these latest technologies to see what is now available. Also all new carpet thru-out
office during Christmas break.
Dentistry has probably changed more with all the latest technical advances in the past decade or so than
all of the past 100 years before that! Having all this new equipment is such a pleasure and not a burden or
just an overhead expense. Especially since dentistry is one of my main hobbies and an artistic precise and
detailed endeavor including our great 30+ year average staff and so many of our many friends (patients) we
have made over so many years! There is not a person on our day sheet we do not look forward to seeing. And
as one of our long time patients Joe Vargas always says .. "If you had a bar in here I'd stay all day!".
We do have and had the luxury of having picked our patients over the years in our fee for service practice.
Never any advertising - word of mouth only, and currently taking only some relatives and close friends of
our existing patients as new patients.
"If you don't care as much about your teeth as we do ... You need to find a dentist That thinks as little
of your teeth as you do!"
... another original Doc Hemp Quote.
LET'S FACE IT! To most people ..TEETH & ESPECIALLY dentists are about the most BORING Things in the whole
wide world!! ... Well! This site changes that!!! ....If you get bored or can't find a smile here ... "You could
very well be a PET ROCK!!"
Becky & I are dedicating this dental web site in memory of our very close friend and colleague, orthodontist
Dr. Ed Bigelow .. the best orthodontist and most honest person we have ever met! .. Ed died today on his
birthday at 68 years of age ... 2/15/05 .. ED ..We all miss you so very very much!!!!!!
Please don't email me with dental problems as I cannot diagnose over the internet ... But .. as you peruse
this large site you will probably see your questions answered anyway in similar cases presented or
discussed as per my personal opinions.
This web site is not and never has been an advertisement for new patients. This and our other 1000 plus pages
are an archived journal for our family, friends, (our existing patients) and other like hobby heads the world
over these past 15 years. ... This is probably the largest non-commercial private web site (Blog or whatever)
in the world! ... Also .. Our web sites are best viewed with A SENSE OF HUMOR! And an updated Browser.
Remember .. Old Dentists Never Die .... They Just Make a Bad Impression!

About Doc Hemp .... I'm so UGLY I make the onions cry! If you look up UGLY in the dictionary I take up
4 pages!! As a baby I was so UGLY the doctor spanked my face, .... & actually improved it! .... A LOT!
My mother had to tie a pork chop around my neck just so our dog would play with me!! Becky says with me EVERY
night is Halloween! ... And I'm so OLD I can remember when God made dirt! ... Before I could blow the candles
out on my last birthday cake - the Forest Service dumped a load of Borate on it & a bunch of Smoke Jumpers
crashed our party! Drank all the beer! Geeze!)!
(Summer 06 update) ... after moving a couple hundred tons of dirt, rock and crushed granite on our private
railroad .... I can now make thin jokes ... I am so thin that when I stand sideways and stick out my tongue
I look like a dang zipper! ... But I look like a Million Bucks! ... All green and wrinkled! ... ( ; > )
.... ..... And this past Halloween Beck Rolled me in Sesame seeds & I went as a bread stick! ...
I now have to strap a 2x4 across my rear end so I don't go down the drain while taking a shower .... ( ; - )
.... thanks Bryan Taylor for this one ... 12/31/2011 can now start making fat jokes again ;-(
