Dr. O
From his calm demeanor and quiet approach – which makes him great with kids – you may not know that Dr. O also has exceptional medical credentials. From his first degree in dentistry in his home country of Nigeria, Dr. O has continued to add to both his educational and hands-on dental experience. He is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist as well as a member of the Academy of Orofacial Myotherapy (AOMT). Just one of his may achievements is being a Pugh Award Recipient – an honor given to those scoring in the top 3% of their dental board exam.
Dr. O was inspired by a family friend who is a dentist. He also enjoys that dentistry was both an art and a medical science.
