In 2002, after Dr. Jeff finished dental school and Alana finished medical school, they moved to Columbus, Ohio, to start residencies in Pediatric Dentistry and Pediatrics at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and The Ohio State University. As a resident in Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Jeff was selected as a chief resident, and he became proficient in the many aspects of pediatric dentistry, especially dentistry for infants, children, adolescents, and children with special needs.

After finishing residency, Dr. Jeff worked as an attending at the dental clinic at Nationwide Children’s Hospital; guiding dental students and residents. Dr. Jeff is board certified in Pediatric Dentistry and a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Olentangy Pediatric Dentistry opened in August 2005, and we are very excited to be delivering great dental care for the children of the Powell area, Columbus, and all of central Ohio.
