Dr. Mark Kowal

Dr. Mark Kowal was educated at the University of Maryland at College Park, where he received a B.S. in the biological sciences. He then attended the University of Maryland Dental School where he graduated in 1983. The University of Maryland Dental School has the distinction of being the world’s first dental school, as well as a leader in the field of periodontics.

Following their graduations from dental school, the doctors met at the East Carolina School of Medicine Post Graduate Dental Program. Completion of the advanced training regimen gave the doctors a level of training which is above the minimal required training that most dentists have. They studied under specialists in emergency medical treatment, as well as all of the dental specialties, excluding orthodontics. While in the program, Mark and Allen developed a close friendship that carried through into their decision to open a dental practice together.
