About Dr. Jerry and his staff:
Dr. Schonfeld was born in Bronx, NY in 1938. The family moved to
Richmond, VA in 1948. After high school, he earned his BS degree from the
University of Richmond and his DDS degree from the Medical College of
Virginia (now VCU). He continued his education in the US Air Force from
1961-1963. Upon completion of his USAF time, he then opened his office in
the Simonsdale section of Portsmouth,VA and has been there ever since.
The philosophy of the practice has always been to inject humor and caring
into the relationship with patients to put them at ease and remove forever
the fear of the dental office. The doctor and staff treat everyone like
family. Patients are seen on time and treated one at a time. In addition to the usual
numbing drugs they also use relaxing gas and relaxing oral medications. Our
unique
therapy dogs
are available to sit in your lap during treatment.
Dr. Schonfeld
continues his education yearly in order to keep up to date with
advances in dentistry. Patients' records and insurance are never placed on
computers to ensure privacy and to ensure that all information is
immediately available and not subject to computer failure or invasion.
His friendly staff always puts you at ease. From the
moment you walk in the door, you are treated like family.
