Tom Corwin has worked in private practice since 1983, first in Texas, and then joining us in 1993. He thinks it’s important to visit with patients and get to know them on a personal level, so they know he will be attentive to their needs – and all the details. “Everyone is different as far as their goals, needs and values, and those change at different stages of our lives,” Tom says. “Working on building strong relationships with our patients every day is central to doing the best job we can.”A Texas transplant, Dr. Corwin earned his undergraduate degree in Biology at Texas A&M University and subsequently received his Doctorate in Dental Surgery from Baylor College of Dentistry (now renamed Texas A&M College of Dentistry) in 1983.He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and is a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD).
