“My interest and passion for Dentistry grew out of my love for biology and the health sciences”

Dr. Barry in a nutshell

I bet you are expecting to read about my educational degrees and professional accomplishments and associations? :) Yes, those are important and listed below but let me share a little bit about myself. First and foremost I'm a husband, a father, a brother, a son and an uncle. Honestly that's what's most important in life. Oh and during the week I also happen to fix smiles. :)

My interest and passion for Dentistry grew out of my love for biology and the health sciences. I grew up in the Midwest (OH, WI, MN) and moved several times before settling in Charlotte in 2003 to be closer to family which had relocated here in 2000. During my formative years I made friends in many cities and realized that a people-focused career would suit me best. This, combined with my love for the sciences, drove me to pursue an advanced degree in Dentistry.

I have lived and worked in Ballantyne since 2003. I've seen it grow and flourish and am excited where it's headed. I am proud to share my service and knowledge with the local community to promote oral health. My wonderfully supportive wife Laura and I have two happy, healthy young girls named Marley and Poppy. As proud parents our spare time is spent at dance or swim class and the obligatory weekend children's birthday party. Never a dull moment but when I do find time for me, it's usually on the golf course. Charleston is a family-favorite weekend getaway.
