Howard Metz Family Dentistry

Dr. Howard J. Metz is a graduate of Yeshiva University in New York where he earned a B.A. in Theater Arts in 1983. He received his degree in dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1987. He then moved to Israel where he completed a two-year general practice residency program (with a concentration in pediatric dentistry) at the Luba Slome Dental Center in Jerusalem. Dr. Metz has worked in Kfar HaShvedi (Elwyn Institute) as a dentist for mentally disabled adults and has examined many children with special needs at the Eddie Shore kindergarten in Jerusalem. In the early eighties, he was a counselor both at the well-known Camp HASC (Hebrew Academy for Special Children) and at Women’s League group residential homes for mentally handicapped men. He continues to treat very young and/or difficult children and adolescents.

Devorah Wigman is the office manageress and has been working for Dr. Metz for four years. Before that she ran a busy dental practice in Jerusalem. Devorah made aliyah from England and lives in bet Shemesh with her husband and four fab kids. When she’s not at work, you can usually find her either in the gym or the supermarket.

I graduated as a dental hygienist from the Hadassah School of dentistry in the year 1999. I have been working with Dr. Metz since 2000. I love working with people and enjoy seeing the improvement in their mouths when I am done. I enjoy traveling, reading, exercising and spending time with my family.
