PHILADELPHIA, Pa., USA: Dr. Earl “Buddy” Broker passed away on Aug. 15, 2013, following a brief illness. Broker was a founding faculty member of the orthodontic residency program at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. He continued in this capacity until his death. In addition to teaching comprehensive orthodontics to post-graduate students, he also directed their education in temporomandibular disorders.
Of note, he taught all graduates of the program including current residents in training.
Broker was born and raised in Philadelphia and graduated from West Philadelphia High School. Both his pre-dental and dental education occurred at Temple University, where he graduated with a DDS degree in 1961.
He then entered the orthodontic practice of Drs. Maxwell S. Fogel and Jack M. Magill as an orthodontic preceptee, completing his training in 1965. Pre-dating the official start of the orthodontic residency program, he joined the orthodontic staff at Einstein as an orthodontic fellow receiving a fellowship certificate, also in 1965.
He became a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics in 1995. He also served as a reserve dental officer in the U.S. Army Dental Corp from 1961 until 1968 , receiving an honorable discharge as a captain.
Broker was a tireless supporter of Drs. Fogel and Magill in preparing for the start of the Einstein Medical Center Orthodontic Residency Program in the early 1960s. He assisted them in organizing program teaching materials and completion of accreditation application information.
For many years, Broker practiced both in Jenkintown, Pa., and Voorhees, N.J. More recently, he limited his practice activity to the Voorhees office.
In addition to caring for the orthdontic needs of his patients, his knowledge and expertise in treating temporomandibular disorders was highly regarded with patients traveling great distances to seek his care.
Broker is survived by his wife, Joyce, sons Brian and Bradley and families, brother Gerald and sister Donna.
