You might not generally think of community service as a reason to choose one dentist over another — but when you're in the OC, you have to choose between a few different dental offices that all have good reasons to call themselves "the best". None of them are going to be anything less than amazing when it comes to serving you. You won't find many 'fly-by-night' tooth-crackers in Orange County. But that doesn't mean that they're all the same, either.
Take mine, for example. I'm Dr. Eric Johnson, and I'm quite proud to be the latest dentist to work at our office with a thirty-eight year history of service to the OC community and the world abroad as well.
You can find several dentists in the OC that offer amazing resumes. But you'll only find one with my record of service. Whether it's donating thousands of dollars to the San Clemente Boys and Girls club or taking USC dental students to perform pro-bono dentistry for the populations of El Salvadoran villages, I have always prided myself on my connection to my community and my world.
When my wife first saw the world's tallest man, Sultan Kosen, on a television special, she told me unhesitatingly that she felt for the man. His overactive pituitary gland made his body grow uncontrollably and resulted in crippling problems in many parts of his body — including his teeth. I as well as a small group of specialists and labs provided the man with a full-scale surgical and cosmetic smile makeover. He left smiling — and able to properly chew his food; a first for the eight-foot giant of a man.
There are no words to describe the feeling I get when I'm able to help another human being. I have it written on my website, on the walls of my office, and on the inside of my heart: I believe that I exist to help others have a better life. Being the most recent face of a practice with a 38 year legacy of service has given me plenty of opportunities to prove that maxim over and over again.
