• Quick Bio: Dr. Willis is from Newport News, VA, a near-coastal town on the Eastern Seaboard. He found his way to Ohio through his wife, a Buckeye native. While at the University of Toledo, Dr. Willis chose to focus on anthropology, a social science, rather than a bioscience to better learn about connecting with patients. Anthropology and dentistry connect well because they both revolve around people. So, his career goal as a dentist became a natural fit, and he completed his DDS from The Ohio State University in 2018. He loves how dentistry is artistic and how it helps to improve one’s self-confidence with a smile. When not chairside, Dr. Willis loves to be lakeside, either fishing, or spending time with his wife and three children.
