I also went to Dr Turkel. I started when I was 16 yrs old and all 3 of my children went there as soon I they were old enough. He was a wonderful dentist and person. I really missed him when he retired. Linda Bullard Lichter

Such a wonderful man! I was so lucky in being one of his patients from childhood and into adulthood. I remember seeing him when a 30 year old filling he had done started breaking away from the tooth. His comment was, "Damn things don´t last!!" He attended my parents´ memorial services. He was everything you could hope for in a DDS and as a dear friend. The world is a little less of a good place without him in it.

How can you love going to the dentist? We did!-of course, we knew him as a "lovable" character long before he was our dentist. We lost another one of the "good guys"-our sincere condolences.
