Following his undergraduate studies, Dr. O was accepted to the highly regarded Marquette University School of Dentistry. During his dental education, he distinguished himself by earning an Air Force scholarship, demonstrating his academic prowess and commitment to service. 

Dr. O's commitment to clinical excellence continued with his acceptance into an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program. This selective program provided intensive training beyond standard dental education, allowing him to master complex procedures and comprehensive treatment planning.
