What made you choose dentistry?
I always enjoyed the sciences and had early aspirations to enter the medical field for my career. Quite honestly, it was suggested to me by my medical provider to consider dentistry for a better work life balance and I never looked back.

What do you love most about being a dentist or what do you find the most rewarding?
Dentistry is more about the relationships than anything. For many, the relationship lasts for years and seeing second, or third generations is truly rewarding.

What’s your care/treatment philosophy?
I believe each patient has unique desires and is an individual.  I spend significant time to reach an understanding on their goals, their desires or wants, and their readiness for care. I believe patient care is a journey.

Is there a particular area of dentistry you enjoy the most or like to focus on?
I have naturally gravitated toward surgery over the years, leveraging my ability and training to immediately resolve significant pain and provide comfort.

When did you start or how many years have you been with Park Dental?
I joined Park Dental in August 1993 and have practiced at Park Dental Brookpark since.

What is one thing you love most about Park Dental?
The ability to work alongside so many talented people across Park Dental. There is a place for everyone and so much to learn from others. I have been blessed with the ability to expand my career, clinically, operationally, and professionally.

What do you enjoy most about being part of a group practice?
The lifelong friendships and our collaboration toward a common goal. As a large group, we can improve the profession through greater scale and influence, improving the lives of many.

And now for a little fun, let’s get to know Dr. Reither on a personal level.
