I’m an FAGD dentist! What does that mean for you and your family?

FAGD stands for Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Earning Fellowship takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation. Only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows. When you see a dentist with FAGD after their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Fellows practice these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year — not every dentist does this.

To become an AGD Fellow, a dentist must:

  • Complete over 500 credit hours of CE.
  • Earn 350 of those 500 credits in live courses.
  • Pass an exam equal in difficulty to board certification exams.

Biography

I am originally from the coast of Maine and grew up in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I waited tables at a family-owned Mexican restaurant for 9 years while putting myself through undergraduate school in psychology and dental school at the University of Oklahoma before graduating in 1992. I moved to Arizona the day after graduation and have been here ever since. I have practiced in Mesa, Scottsdale, Sedona, Flagstaff, and Phoenix in addition to Cottonwood.

I am married and have two “four-legged children”. I enjoy exploring nature, traveling, hiking, road and mountain biking, weightlifting, and scuba diving. I am always working on my personal, professional, and leadership development. I love anything Sci-Fi or Star Trek-related. I enjoy problem-solving, video games, figuring out “How Things Work”, watching documentaries, sci-fi, scary movies, and comedy. I generally listen to upbeat electronic dance and 80s music while working in the yard, hiking, and biking.
