Dr. Devlin is originally from Pittsburgh, and earned his Bachelor of Science from Penn State University in 1975. Dr Devlin was a linebacker for Penn State's football team whose four year record was 43 wins vs 5 losses. They made history in 1973 finishing a perfect 12-0 defeating LSU in the 1974 Orange Bowl. Dr. Devlin was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals and played four seasons in the NFL. When injury caused career change, Dr. Devlin attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Devlinwas inspired by his childhood orthodontist to become a dentist and enjoys making his patients smile. Its amazing being a dentist today. The materials and technology we have now are so much better than even 10 years ago. We can do things today we couldnt dream of when I graduated Dental School. To that end Dr Devlin takes many hours of continuing education each year. He is associated with the Dawson Academy, the Pankey Institute, and The Society of Dental Anesthesiology.

Annie has been Dr. Devlins chairside assistant for 27 years. She always puts her patients and their needs first and considers it a pleasure to serve alongside Dr. Devlin. Her relationship with her other team members is one of dedication; shes always willing to help out where needed. Annie finds joy in playing the guitar and singing with the residents. Her hope is that the Lord would richly bless our dental practice as we serve others.

Dr. Devlins wife, Wendy, has been with the practice from the beginning. Every morning, she brings a smile to work, and if you come on the right day, donuts too! When Dr. Devlin is assisting his patients, Wendy is there for any questions or advice the staff may have. When shes not in the office, she loves to travel to visit their three daughters, sons-in-law and 10 grandchildren, who all live out-of-state.

I feel like I cannot say enough good things about this place. The customer service here was top tier. I only live here temporarily for work and was in need of some dental work quickly as my crown fell out and needed to be replaced. From the start, the service was excellent. Dot, the receptionist, was so accommodating and professional. Was great after being told "I don't have time to talk to you" by another practice I called the same morning. Dr. Delvin was fantastic and so was the assistant Annie. Dental work is never fun, and I have yet to get the "real" work done that's upcoming, but they made me very comfortable while I was there for the exam. 15/10 would recommend highly.

Dr. Devlin took really care of me throughout my time at PSU. His office staff and RDH's are very friendly and super helpful. Dr. Devlin is extremely personable and makes for an anxiety-free dental visit. Would definitely recommend!

My wife is talking to the receptionist at our kid's school and the woman smiles and shares, "I have a dentist's appointment after work. I love them so much. They are so relaxing." We use Chris Devlin and feel that way about his practice so my wife asked (knowing the answer), "Who's your dentist?" "Chris Devlin," she replied. Two things about their practice: 1) It may be hard to imagine, but this may be the first time you are ever inspired while getting drilled in a dentist's chair. Watching him and his team work together is like watching a couple ballroom dance. They are skillful and tender toward one another and you. 2) This is one of those cases where you get what you pay for. I have seen "network" dentists for >30 years. It isn't until we started to go to Chris's office that someone spent enough time in my mouth to carefully check us out. During one of those visits, Chris noticed that I had an uneven bite and had worn away all of the enamel on my back teeth. If he didn't find that it and recommend orthodontics, I would be in step for many root canals. I don't fault the other dentists, I suspect they just don't get paid enough from the insurance to take the time.

Here's a very happy THANK YOU to Dr. Devlin and his amazing staff! Until meeting Dr. Devlin, I HATED DENTISTS...but he has totally restored my faith in the dental sciences! I broke a tooth and feared, dreaded, hated the thought of going back to a dentist. After reviewing all the Google dental reviews for the area, Dr. Devlin's office scored so high that I called and made an appointment. Not only did Dr. Devlin's staff get me in quickly, I had NO PAIN throughout the process. Bottom line, Dr. Devlin and his staff are amazing. He is a great dentist, but also kind, knowledgeable, and cared about me as a patient.

Dr Devlin and his team have been taking care of my teeth for a long time now. They are always friendly and professional. The hygienists are thorough, but gentle. Dr Devlin is hands on and engaged in my care. I have never had a better experience at a dentist's office.
