Dr. David Genecov, MD, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on November 12th, 2022.
He was a dear mentor and friend who took me under his wing. When he thought I was ready, he passed the keys to the practice over, but I was still learning from him every single day.
At his encouragement and recommendation this year, he suggested I get to know Smile Train. He loved his time teaching abroad with his brother Dr. Jeff Genecov with Smile Train, and representing and fundraising while competing in an Iron Man race.
He also was a regular donor. The mission is to provide training, funding, and resources to empower local doctors in 70+ countries to provide lifesaving surgeries and other essential cleft care to their neighbors in need, 100% free.
This campaign is in his honor and memory, for a great man who loved caring for cleft and craniofacial patients.
