I graduated in 1976 with an honors Bachelor of Science degree from Marquette University.  I completed my Dental Degree in 1980 and practiced nine years in Menomonee Falls in a large clinic setting.  Moving from my hometown in 1989 to West Bend I joined the practice of Robert Faucett.  Dr. Faucett relocated in 1993 and Dr. Hammer joined my practice.  In 2002 Paradise Dental Professionals SC moved to its current location at 1625 W Paradise Drive, West Bend, Wisconsin.

"I have always felt that there is an individual person attached to the mouth that I am caring for.  That patient has a certain way that they wish to be treated and I strive to personalize their dental care.  I listen to what their concerns are and evaluate not only their dental needs, but also how that fits in with their personal situation and any medical conditions they may have.  Together we determine the course of care and how to reach the goal of healthy teeth and gums as well as a smile they can be proud of."

"I treat patients with the same respect and comfort that I would wish to be treated.  We provide a variety of ways to make our patients comfortable.  Our facility was designed with patient comfort and privacy in mind.  The office received a design award in the 2003 Dental Office Design Competition sponsored by Dental Economics and The Matsco Companies.  The practice was recognized as the Small Business of the Year 2001-2002 by the Greater West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce.  We provide pillows and blankets on request to make you comfortable.  If you so desire we will use nitrous oxide and headphones to help you relax.  You will see familiar faces at your dental visits.  The majority of our staff has been with us ten years or longer.  We respect your time and strive to run on time.  We will inform you if you might experience a wait longer than 15 minutes."

"Many years of dental experience allows us to personalize your dental care.  We discuss appropriate options and let you make the decisions."

My wife, Wendy, and I enjoy hunting, fishing and traveling together.  My three sons are married and enjoy careers in education, fireplace servicing and engineering.  I have been an active member of Rotary since 1989 and am a past president.  I was a member of the Leadership Greater West Bend inaugural class of 1990-1991.  I have been the dental chairperson for United Way Washington County twice and a community representative for funds distribution.
