Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?

Dr. Bond began his college studies at Bucknell University as an engineering major, but he also had a keen interest in medicine and architectural design. At that time, his older brother was in dental school. During a visit with him at Georgetown University, he saw that dentistry combined qualities from each of those disciplines very well. At the beginning of his sophomore year back at Bucknell, he decided to change his major to chemistry with an emphasis on pre-dental studies.

Today, Dr. Bond is still thrilled to have been able to combine his interests into such an amazing career. However, the most satisfying part of practicing dentistry by far has been the relationships he’s made with so many wonderful Newark-area families.

Where Did You Study Dentistry?

Dr. Bond achieved his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. He was a Cum Laude graduate and inducted into the dental honor society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. Following graduation, he furthered his training by completing a residency program in general dentistry at Christiana Care Hospital. He also regularly attends continuing education courses on a yearly basis in order to stay current with the latest advancements in oral healthcare.
