Dr. Robert Elliott is from Louisville, Kentucky where he graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. His pediatric dental residency and Master’s Degree was completed at the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Dentistry & UNC Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill.
Dr. Elliott is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry as well as a Fellow with The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. He enjoys teaching both dental students as well as residents and was an Adjunct Clinical Professor at both the University of North Carolina and University of Louisville Schools of Dentistry. In addition, he served as the State Advisor for the North Carolina Dental Assistants Association for almost 10 years.
Dr. Elliott established his first practice in 1998 from the ground up immediately after completing his residency and developed his practice philosophy from the beginning. As important was building a TEAM that was a part of that philosophy: “We don’t want to be the biggest; we just want to be the BEST for our patients and their parents.” He was a solo practitioner for the first 10 years of his practice before building and moving into his current dream office with his rock star partner and 15 amazing TEAM members. Dr. Elliott has been in private practice for two decades in Cary, NC.
Dr. Elliott lectures throughout the year to other dentists, specialists, dental team members and residents. He has written numerous articles for national dental publications and is a recognized authority on the development of creative and innovative office designs for pediatric dental practices where he is often called upon to consult with new office construction. “Helping Others Achieve” is one of Dr. Elliott’s cornerstone mantras.
He can teach you how to successfully navigate the opening of a private practice and avoid the costly mistakes that are associated with this part of your career.
Dr. Elliott remains well connected with colleagues and holds memberships with the North Carolina Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Southeastern Society of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association.
