Ever since he can remember, Dr. Horvath has enjoyed science, the outdoors, and working directly with other people. In time, becoming a healthcare provider just seemed like a great fit! He was able to shadow his family dentist while in college and became interested in that field specifically as a result the rest is history. Today, hes known many of his patients for decades, and its been a true honor and privilege to help them smile brighter.
Dr. Horvath graduated from the OSU School of Dentistry in 1980, followed by the completion of a one-year General Practice Residency (GPR) at the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo. This specialty training allowed him to become a staff member at our local hospitals and perform certain procedures in the O.R. for patients with special needs who cannot be cared for in a more traditional setting. For around 15 years, he was also on staff at several nursing homes and a specific facility for special needs patients. Today, he is a proud member of the American Dental Association and Ohio Dental Association.
Dr. Horvath has been married to his wife Pattie for over 40 years he couldnt have done all this without her! They have been blessed with three grown children and seven wonderful grandchildren. Outside of the dental office, he is an avid fisherman who particularly enjoys fly fishing for steelhead and fishing at Lake Erie for walleye and perch. In past years, hes traveled to Alaska for salmon and halibut and Lake Michigan and Ontario for salmon, steelhead, and lake trout. He also spends plenty of free time traveling with family (especially to state and national parks) and celebrating all of lifes wonderful milestones with friends and other loved ones.
Dr. Patriarca attended John Carroll University before pursuing his dental doctorate at Case Western Reserve University, graduating in 1987. He has also pursued countless continuing education courses to further elevate his skillset. This includes studying CEREC same-day technology and also cosmetic dentistry at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute.
Dr. Patriarca and his wife Connie have four children named Courtney, Robbie, Vincenzo, and Antonio. When he isnt busy caring for teeth, you can often find him fishing, playing golf, or coaching CYO football. He actually played football at John Carroll from 1979 to 1983, so his love of the game runs deep!
