Goldstein, Garber, and Salama: a legacy lives.

of 30 years in the case of Drs. Ronald Goldstein and David Garber, 23 years since Dr. Maurice Salama joined you, and 18 years since Dr. Henry Salama joined the team in Atlanta. That’s an amazing record in any field, and certainly reason enough to talk to you about your practice, your teaching, and also what you see as the future for dentistry. Let’s start with the beginning of your practice, and then how your partnership and “Team Atlanta” developed. Dr. Goldstein: The predecessor to Goldstein, Garber, and Salama (GG&S) was initially founded in 1929 on the rather progressive vision of my father, Dr. Irving Goldstein. I joined the office in 1959, and while working with different specialists individually in Atlanta, as well as being exposed to the perio dontal-prosthetic philosophies of Dr. Morton Amsterdam, I came to recognize how effective and beneficial it would be to incorporate virtually all these dental specialties under one roof. I initiated the process of implementing this vision by recruiting Dr. David Garber from the faculty of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, who had postdoctoral expertise in both periodontics and fixed prosthodontics.
