About
Bio
I am a graduate of the University of Medicine Dentistry of New Jersey and have dedicated myself to providing you with the best that dentistry has to offer. I am continually educating myself and my staff on the newest techniques and approaches to provide you with advanced, state-of-the-art, comfortable personalized dental care. I received the Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service while serving as a captain and a dentist in the United States Air Force. In my continuing education, I have completed advanced courses in aesthetics, cosmetic dentistry infection control, I have an advanced degree from the Academy of General Dentistry. I am a member of the Academy of Stomatology (the oldest dental organization in the country), and a board member of the Main Line Dental Society. I was one of the first general dentists in the area to receive Invisalign (invisible braces) certification. My family and I reside in Lower Merion. I look forward to helping you, Dr. Michael I. Wollock
