Get to know our Doctor

Gary J. Ross, DMD

Dr. Ross graduated from the City University of New York with a degree in mechanical engineering and a minor in biomedical engineering. He worked for a number of years as a systems engineer, designing submarines. He decided he really wanted a profession where direct personal quality control was foremost, where working with his hands and interaction with people were priorities. That desire motivated him to enroll in the University of Connecticut and graduate with a degree as a Doctor of Dental Medicine. After graduation, Dr. Ross worked as an associate dentist in a private practice before acquiring his own practice in Bethany in 1984.
