Why He Was Nominated:

Just two years after joining Kraisinger Family Dentistry, Dr. Parry became 50/50 owner of the practice, which employs nearly 40 staffers and dentists over four locations by investing in struggling properties and nurturing patient retention. He’s constantly adding new technologies and is most excited about two additions from 2019: a 3D Vatech and a Benco Pen Laser. Additionally, he offers Botox, Juvéderm and other products for facial esthetics, as well as TMJ and migraine treatments. Dr. Parry is a proud founder of “Operation Make a Vet Smile,” which provides free dental services to veterans in the Pittsburgh area. In its first year, the event donated more than $18,000 worth of dentistry in one day. He’s now sole owner of his practice and founded Premier Dental Alliance—a group designed to benefit dentists, preserve an environment of optimal patient care and promote a positive public perception of dentistry.
