Meet Your Doctor
I value the personal interaction and the individuality of each and every one of my patients.
Me At A Glance:
Raised in Forest Hills, he is a long time resident of West Michigan. While attending Lyman Briggs Residential College at Michigan State University, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Biology. Dr. Yared received his doctorate from the University of Michigan Dental School in 2003, all the while maintaining his Spartan allegiance.
We asked Dr. Yared a few questions so you can get to know him a little better!
“It really comes down to my passion for helping others and building relationships with the community, which dentistry allows me to do! I just really love the personal interaction, the individuality of each patient, and the progressive science of my chosen profession.”
“For me it’s definitely making my patients feel comfortable with the power of laughter! I find humor is a great way to break the ice, get to know my patients, and help change their view of dentistry.”
“I absolutely love providing my patients with Invisalign treatment, it is truly life changing and I am just lucky to have a front row seat. There is nothing better than seeing the smiles of joy and confidence after treatment!”
“Jim Morrison, Richard Wagner, and Layne Staley”
“Godfather, Goodfellas, and Midnight Run”
Through my work, I am able to enhance patients’ overall health and well-being, while simultaneously boosting their self-confidence.
Dr. Smith grew up in Traverse City, MI. After serving as a US Navy Corpsman for a decade, he made the decision to pursue a career in dentistry and received his doctorate from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. We asked Dr. Smith a few questions so you can get to know him a little better!
“I have always been curious and loved building—playing Legos, solving puzzles, and creating gourmet recipes. Through dentistry, I get to combine my creativity, attention to detail, and years of experience in medicine to heal and care for patients in a truly unique way, helping patients develop overall health and well-being while simultaneously improving self-confidence.”
“Blessed with the profound joy and privilege of raising My Three Sons, all exquisitely unique children – an incredibly smart, talented, and very fast (cross country and track) high-schooler, an adventurous, joyful, and precocious toddler, and a very handsome, snuggly, baby boy.”
“I am a member of the American Dental Association and the Michigan Dental Association.”
“Martin Sexton, Dispatch, and The Beatles”
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Snatch, Outlaw King”
“Carpentry & fine wood-working.”
“Developing relationships and helping patients reach their oral health goals is great, but even better is seeing the joyful reactions of patients after dental work is completed.”
“Triathlon”
“Yes, I have had the pleasure to have studied under…
“I usually hustle home to make dinner, eat with the family, and enjoy bath-time and bedtime with the little ones – reading several books (Elliott normally won’t settle for less than five). I also have a lot of fun helping my highschooler with homework because it gives me a chance to relearn math while spending quality time with my oldest son. I typically end my night with an early bedtime and reading, usually fantasy/fiction or good devotional.”
“Carrots and hummus with a nutritional shake and kombucha tea or coffee.”
“I would have to say either Invisalign or Root Canal Therapy!”
“Rowan Atkinson, because he has a very unique voice and cadence to his speech. He is also one of my and my son’s favorite comedians.”
“Rainy days hold a special place in my heart, as they give me an opportunity to indulge in my favorite pastimes such as settling down with a good book, getting lost in a challenging puzzle, unwinding with my family over board or card games or simply enjoying a movie.”
“Relax. You fellas have nothing to worry about. I’m a professional.” -Valet from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
