He has been active with his profession as well, serving the Eastern Ohio Dental Society, the Ohio Dental Association and the American Dental Association in numerous capacities. But it can be argued that Dr. John is best defined by the compassion and respect he has shown to the less fortunate around the globe. He has attended medical-dental missions to the Philippines on four different occasions were he has served thousands of Filipinos that have no access to dentistry. Additionally, during the devastation from the Hurricane Katrina, he raised money, procured a mobile dental unit , recruited dentist, and went to Louisiana where they assisted the displaced people for a month. Both of these efforts were recognized by the Ohio Dental Association with Dr. John being the only two time recipient of the ODA Humanitarian Award.
