Dr. Devine grew up in Rhode Island and moved to Boston for college at Northeastern University. After earning a degree in biology, he attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. At Tufts, he worked on research projects related to the connection between dental and systemic health.
After graduating from Tufts, he went through advanced residency training in general dentistry at St. Josephs Health Center in Providence, RI where he gained a broad range of experience in the all aspects of general dentistry. Dr. Devine joined Norton Family Dentistry in July of 2018, and is excited to help his patients with their dental needs in a compassionate and gentle manner.
Dr. Aaron Shin was born and raised in Lodi, California where he cared for farm animals such as sheep, turkey, chickens and goats on a vineyard ranch. With his love for animals, he completed his undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley majoring in Integrative Biology before pursuing dentistry at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. A self-proclaimed coffee addict, you may see him at local cafs sipping coffee while eagerly reading online journals and papers about the latest research and updates in dental medicine as he is a committed to advanced and continuing education.
Dr. Shin first became interested in dentistry while volunteering at the Berkeley Food and Housing project in Berkeley, California where he became introduced to free clinic programs. The free clinic included a variety of health programs including dentistry. Dr. Shin continues to dedicate his time at various volunteer programs today.
As a dentist, Dr. Shin is passionate about providing excellent dental care in the form of empowerment by helping people understand that they have complete control of their situations. My job as a dentist is not about just fixing teeth, its about helping people understand what is going on and how its happening so that together we can make the best decision on what to do. I understand that even coming to the dental clinic may not be easy for some and so my goal is to help relieve any fears people may have about dentistry through patient education.
Dr. Shins hobbies outside of dentistry includes making pasta from scratch, going on road trips, and watching YouTube videos of boxer puppies. He also enjoys spending time with his family and friends, biking, and wants to learn how to fish.

I didn't go to the dentist for almost 7 years because of how scared I was. Thankfully I booked an appointment here because Dr. Balabanyan and Wendy were a perfect team and gave me my smile back. I felt so comfortable the entire time and felt no pain even though they had a lot to tackle. I'm actually excited for my next appointment!!

Dr Eyad Salloum is the best dentist I've ever been to. He's very knowledgeable, cares about his patients, he took the time to answer all my questions and explains the procedures in detail. I can't say enough how great Dr Salloum is. He's genuinely an amazing person. The office staff is outstanding and professional and always willing to go above and beyond to accommodate my busy schedule. Dr Salloum does a very through painless job. I recommended him to my family and they all very pleased with his kindness and exceptional work. I would highly recommend Dr Salloum to anyone looking for a good Dentist practice for themselves and their family. You won't be disappointed!!!!

First time patient. Can't say enough how impressed I was. Everyone is very pleasant and welcoming. Had an exam, x-rays, and cleaning. Cleaning was very thorough. Dental exam also very thorough. Both the Hygienist and the Dentist spent time discussing everything in detail.

I'm a new patient and can't say enough good things. I had Bethany as my hygienist and Sue helped with a procedure... both are awesome. Dr. Salloum and Dr. Devine are both really great. They all took the time to answer my questions and didn't feel rushed. The rest of the staff were very helpful and efficient and I would highly recommend to anyone. :-)

I have recommended Norton Family Dental to people I know. The staff is professional, compassionate and caring. Dr. Salloum does exceptional work; I trust his advice, guidance and workmanship. I have called the office to thank him after a visit. Bethany somehow gives me a dazzling smile after a cleaning and Wendy assists the doctor with experience and sensitivity. Marie leads an office that makes personal provisions for each patient's needs. Thank you to all who work on my behalf at Norton Family Dental. Thank you for taking care of me!
