OUR PATIENTS & VOLUNTEERS​

Stories

Dr. Fred Kapinos, a dentist, did an extraordinary job. With no electricity and only a generator, he did extractions, root canals and fillings. He fashioned a dental chair with a headrest, suction form a small vacuum and a sterilizer from a pressure cooker. It was fabulous and the people appreciated the work he did. A young girl came in with decay in her front teeth and wouldn’t smile. Dr. Kapinos drilled out the decay and filled the teeth. The girls left the ‘dental office’ smiling. This is just one example of the work that he did. He saw approximately 80 patients in five days.
