Dr. Courtny Patterson was born in South Carolina and grew up in Maryland. She got her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. She was inspired by her aunt at a young age to become a dentist. She got her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at The University of Maryland in Baltimore, MD. She also did a general practice residency at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. After residency, she worked as a general dentist in Maryland for 4 years, during which she found that she enjoys working with children and knew the importance of having good oral health and access to dental care from a young age. She then decided to embark on a career in Pediatric Dentistry, completing a Pediatric Dental Residency at Stony Brook University in New York. She is now a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and is looking forward to helping and treating your children’s dental needs.
