Congratulations to Dr. Jackson Smith for his completion of his second Diplomate certification after three years of study.

The American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine tests dentists who treat snoring & obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy. The ABDSM designation demonstrates to referring physicians, peers & the public that a dentist has the knowledge & skills essential for delivery of excellent patient care. The ABDSM credential is widely recognized as the gold standard in dental sleep medicine.

Dr. Jackson began this endeavor during his last year of NYU Dental school and completed his final step, passing the National Examination, while enrolled in the USC Herman Ostrow College of Dentistry Master of Science program in Orofacial Pain & Oral Medicine where he is expected to graduate late summer, 2027. (And working full-time).

As a sleep specialist, Dr. Jackson gets all this done & still sleeps 9 hours per night! Way to go, Dr. Jackson!

Allow us a moment to share a few photos from Dr. Jackson's Hindi wedding in Bangaluru.
(Now the Drum roll)

May we also introduce Harshini Vasu Smith. We thoroughly enjoyed more time with the Vasu family and friends. Over 30 days living with each other in the US & India, we learn more & more about Southern Indian culture. We love what we see & feel …the similarities that blend East with West.

Thank you to our staff for sprucing up and working while we were away. We appreciate our patients and referring doctors for understanding and for waiting for us to return.

We just made it back before airspace was closed in the Middle East. We resumed regular business hours today.

Since tomorrow is a META/FB blackbout, I’ll post this now. It’s official. Signed at 8:20AM. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule (aka... new name, META) where they can use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!
Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy”. Then go to your page, create a new post and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear and click Paste.
This will bypass the system….
He who does nothing consents

According to the show 60 Minutes:
Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.
I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA.

Drug Prices

FTC publishes second report on PBM impacts on drug prices
On Jan. 14, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released its second interim staff report on drug middlemen and their impact on prescription drug prices and access. The FTC commissioners voted unanimously to release the bipartisan report, which focuses on pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) influence over specialty generic drugs. The report found that the “big three” PBMs—Caremark (CVS), Express Scripts, and Optum—marked up numerous specialty generic drugs by hundreds or thousands of percent, resulting in $7.3 billion in revenue over the study period. The markups impacted numerous generic specialty drugs, such as treatments for cancer, HIV and numerous others to treat serious diseases and conditions. The report also found that PBMs reimbursed “affiliated pharmacies”—usually those considered to be controlled or owned by the PBM—at higher rates on nearly every drug examined in the report than they reimbursed unaffiliated pharmacies.
