Objective

To obtain a part-time position as a general dentist and/or manager where I may maximize my skills as an excellent general dentist

Summary of Qualifications

My qualifications include extensive experience in all phases of general dentistry for over thirty years. I am very experienced in diagnosis and providing treatment for the myriad of dentally related diseases and disorders as well as the diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders, headache pain and sleep disorders. I have also had extensive training in the prosthodontics management of complex restorative cases and additional training in oral surgery and pathology.

I have successfully managed a dental office since July 1978 with as many as sixteen employees, including multiple dental hygienists and associate dentists. I am very adept with computer skills.

Having finished all my graduation requirements a year early, I spent most of my last year in dental school doing additional oral surgery and prosthodontics. I was selected, by the prosthodontics faculty, as the outstanding student in prosthodontics. I was also selected as the outstanding student in oral pathology and in endodontics by the faculty members of those respective departments.

Professional Accomplishments

In addition to being in general practice for thirty years, I obtained my Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry in 1985 and was on the Ohio Board of Directors of the Academy of General Dentistry from 1984 to 1988.
