Dr. Kenneth Anderson, DDS - Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Dr. Anderson’s interest in dentistry began after seeing his great uncle work in the field. That was enough to inspire him to go to dental school where he then was introduced to oral surgery. Dr. Anderson knew right away oral surgery was the field for him.

He completed dental school at University of Minnesota and went on to do his residency at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, NY.

Why Nuvia?
