Smithown Dentsts saves a girls life! A Local Hero

A local Smithtown dentist becomes a hero by saving a little girl's life. On Thursday April 15 2010, during the late morning hours, in the middle of treatment Dr. Alex Shvartsman heard urgent screaming for help outside his first floor dental office window.  4 year old Chelsea  had her neck trapped between the closing passenger door window. The grandparents inside the car could not stop or reverse the closing window. The little girl's was being chocked to death in fort of their eyes. The grandparents and onlookers were apparently paralyzed with fear and shock. Dr. Shvartsman responded immediately by leaping head first out of his office window and with his bare hands, ripped off the car window, shattering it, before the window crushed the little girls throat. Dr. Shvartsman suffered deep cuts on his hands and fingers and was treated by Dr. Marina Peredo, a Dermatologist in his 260 E Main street building. The little girl is doing well and she Dr. Shvartsman are recovering.
