Dr. Medina is an old-fashioned kind of doctor, the kind who not only takes care of his patients but actually cares about his patients as people. Hes not old-fashioned about education, though. In fact, he has three degrees! He earned an MS in Biostatistics in 1981 from Loma Linda University School of Public Health, California; and an MS in Computer Science from Cal Poly Pomona in 1985. It was while he was working in the Dental Research Department for Periodontal Disease that he decided to dedicate his life to serving people and continued his education at Loma Linda University Dental School, graduating with his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 1994.
Dr. Medina is a technology geek with a human touch who relishes all things computer. His dental website is a hobby because his goal is to have the best site in the world. That doesnt mean the website with the most clicks but the one that is the most fun to visit, where you can learn about teeth and how much Dr. Medina loves caring for teeth. He enjoys his work so much that he doesnt just practice dentistry at his Camden practice. He also takes bi-annual dental mission trips to Mexico with his family to serve abroad, and he serves his local community by donating his time to people in need.
Although Dr. Medina hails from New Mexico, now that hes gotten used to Maine, he enjoys more than just a cozy evening by the fireplace. He enjoys bicycling and is always looking for events to participate in. He also loves photography and has found many beautiful subjects for his Seasons of Maine collection in the many fingers on the coast with their views of the water, lighthouses, and coves where artists capture lobster boats on their easels. Most of all, he loves spending time with his family and hes proud that Seasons of Smiles has become a second family of staff and patients to share smiles with.
I am the newest team member at Seasons of Smiles. I have big shoes to fill taking over for the much loved Cathy, as a dental assistant, splitting my time between the reception and dental areas. I am so excited to be part of such a great group of people.
I grew up in Illinois and moved to Maine three years ago after spending my summers here while visiting family. When I was eight years old, I made the decision that I would someday live here. I am very lucky that my family made the move for me and love this community as much as I do.

Seasons of Smiles and Dr. Medina and his staff are sooo nice and professional! They have the most modern technology and treat you like a friend instead of a cold technical case. So you know, I never liked going to the dentist, but I'm not afraid to go there. You'll love them!

My mom had the absolute best visit with the dentist. It was an emergency and she wasn't even their patient and they were able to get her in in 2 days and temporarily fixed her problem. She will be going back for more work that needs to be done. But in the meantime they made it possible for her to not be embarrassed by her broken tooth. I would HIGHLY recommend using them to take care of any of your dental needs. Everyone in the office was wonderful to my mom!!!
