Dr. Lawrence Chen

Dr. Chen grew up in Northern Virginia, loving nature, and eventually studied it as a biology major at the University of Virginia. He then attended the University of Washington for dental school, returning to the East Coast for his General Practice Residency at the University of Maryland Hospital in 1995, finishing the program as Chief Resident. 

After completing over 1,100 hours of continuing education, Dr. Chen achieved Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry, the organization's highest honor. Less than five percent of dentists receive this award. Dr. Chen loves to educate his patients and continues to practice using the Golden Rule as his guiding principle. He always tries to create a low-stress and friendly environment and is happy to discuss treatment options without judgment or pressure. 

Dr. Chen loves to spend time traveling (he's been to all 50 states!), scuba diving, eating, snowboarding, and spending time with his wife, Kwan, a dentist who teaches at the dental school, and their dog, Piper.
