Why Did You Want to
Become a Dentist?
Dr. Ward knew relatively early that he wanted to go into medicine, and when it came time to pick a career, he saw that dentistry would be the right fit. He liked the idea of being able to work closely with each individual patient and use his hands to make beautiful restorations. Today, he has practiced for 12 years so far, and he looks forward to continuing for many more to come!
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
After graduating from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2004, he went straight into the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. He earned his DDS degree in 2008, and since then, he has completed the Essentials courses and many others at the esteemed Pankey Institute, where he now serves as visiting faculty. He is currently a member of the Maryland State Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry.
Outside of the Dental Office,
What Do You Like to Do?
When Dr. Ward isn’t spending time with our own Dr. Melody Ward and their two young boys Cyrus and Lucas, he can often be found golfing or fishing. He also enjoys playing the guitar--while in dental school, he was actually in an all-dentist band called Incisal Edge! He even has his own guitar collection and has turned his basement into a music room.
