We are extremely saddened to learn of Dr Wasserman's passing. For 19 years his office has taken care of my boys. He had such a great relationship with them with every dental visit. When my special needs son broke his tooth this caring wonderful man worked magic and helped my son once again have a beautiful smile. The jokes that were thrown back and forth, the laughter shared, the love and friendship that grew throughout the years. The man had more patience than anyone I met working with special needs kids. Dr Wasserman wasn't just our dentist. He was our angel on earth. Hugs and love to his family and staff. Dr W you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I just recently learned that Dr. Wasserman had passed away, and I and my sons are deeply saddened. He took great care of their teeth from their childhoods onward, and now they are young men. We only knew him as our family dentist, but we all enjoyed his commonsense and intelligence, his compassion, and especially, his dry, wry sense of humor. He made dental visits something to look forward to, which is really saying something. I see his family asks for donations to the Nature Conservancy in lieu of flowers, and that doesn't surprise me, Dr. Wasserman was such a great guy, who from his office decor, you could see appreciated and loved nature, especially fish. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and co-workers who must miss him so much.

Dr. Wasserman was my beloved dentist for 34 years. He was a great dentist and an even greater person. I'm saddened that my daughter and her generation will be without such kind, caring dentist.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Wasserman. My daughter Briana has been a patient of Dr. Wasserman for many years. He was a nice person and always patient with my daughter due to her special needs. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to all the office staff at Dentistry for Children and to his family.

Dr. Wasserman has been my dentist since he first started with this location. I was the kid who was so scared of the dentist, and he always made me feel comfortable. He was honest and took the time to answer any questions I had. He will certainly be missed by the Perkins family.
