After growing up in Marietta, GA, Dr. Robert Crawford attended Wheaton College, where he graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. He then continued his education at the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry, graduating with honors. During his time in dental school, he was introduced to local orthodontist and Augusta native, Dr. Isaac Holton, who mentored Dr. Crawford and ultimately inspired him to pursue orthodontics. Following dental school, Dr. Crawford decided to further his education by completing an additional 30 months of advanced specialty training at the Medical College of Georgia to earn his certificate in orthodontics.
Dr. Crawford is a Board Certified orthodontist and holds Diplomate status with The American Board of Orthodontics. He has been inducted into the national dental honor society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon, and is a Hinman Scholar. He was recognized for his service and leadership during dental school with his induction into the honorary society Alpha Upsilon Phi. Dr. Crawford is also a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Georgia Association of Orthodontists, and the American Dental Association.
Outside of orthodontics, Dr. Crawford enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, mountain biking, wakeboarding, and playing the guitar. He is a member of First Presbyterian Church of Augusta and is actively involved with Medical Campus Outreach, serving as a mentor to dental students at Georgia Regents University.
