Dr. Christian S. Berdy was born in France and moved to the United States with his family at the age of seven. He received his B.A at the University of Colorado and his dental training at the University of Illinois. From there, he served in the United States Navy as an officer from 1968-1973. Afterwards, Dr. Berdy received his specialty training in periodontics at the University of North Carolina. In 1975, Dr. Berdy moved his family to Jacksonville where he joined the practice of Drs. Frank Scott, Walter Watson, and Richard Miller, which was originally founded in 1938. Dr. Berdy is the only remaining doctor of this historic practice that was renamed Berdy Dental Group in 2016.
Dr. Berdy is also a nationally recognized speaker for advanced periodontology, dental implants, and comprehensive patient care. He has served as a featured speaker numerous times for societies that include the Philippine Dental Association, American Academy of Periodontology, Northeast District Hygienists Society, and many more. He recently received an Award of Merit for his involvement with advancing patient care and promoting continual patient education.
He also gives back to the community by working alongside his son and business partner, Dr. Cary Berdy, to support the local Veterans Administration and by making regular international mission trips to help those who do not have access to dental care.
