In this episode of the “because, bikers matter!” ® Podcast, host David "Vegas" Shuman welcomes Dr. Mike Acierno, a dedicated dentist with a passion for serving veterans. The conversation begins with a nod to the interconnectedness of the motorcycle community, highlighting how David met Veronica Lapinski, who works with Dr. Acierno and is deeply involved in veteran support initiatives. Dr. Acierno shares his background, growing up in Chicago and being inspired to pursue dentistry by a cousin who is an endodontist. He discusses his practice, Acierno Family Dental, and the formation of Decision One Dental, which encompasses 40 offices across the Chicago area, all while maintaining a neighborhood feel.
The heart of the episode focuses on Dr. Acierno's commitment to veterans, stemming from his admiration for his grandfather, a World War II veteran. He explains how he and his brother revived a once-thriving dental program for veterans that had been discontinued by the state. Their initiative provides free dental services to veterans, and Dr. Acierno expresses the profound joy he experiences in helping them regain their smiles and alleviate pain. This year marks the fourth annual event, with 14 offices and over 100 team members participating, aiming to provide more than $100,000 worth of free dental care.
Listeners are encouraged to visit DecisiononeDental.com/VETS to schedule appointments for the event on November 4th. Dr. Acierno emphasizes the range of services available, from extractions to crowns, and highlights the support from their dental lab, which contributes additional services at no cost. The episode concludes with a heartfelt call to action for veterans to take advantage of this opportunity and for the community to spread the word. David wraps up the episode by inviting listeners to connect and share their experiences, reinforcing the podcast's mission to support and uplift the biker community.
