Dr. Susman cant wait to help you explore all of your dental goals. He has over 30 years of experience that serves him well throughout even the most extensive treatment plans. More than anything, his favorite part of this job is the positive interactions he has with other people, as well as the lasting joy he can bring to their lives! Interested in learning more about him? Just keep reading below.
There are several reasons that eventually led Dr. Susman down the path to becoming a dentist. For instance, he grew up in a neighborhood where most of his friends dads were doctors and dentists. He saw firsthand how little time the doctors had to spend with their families they were always on call and practically living at the various hospitals they worked at around the clock. However, he often saw the dentists mowing their lawns and having fun with their loved ones. He also loved working with his hands and taking apart all kinds of fascinating machines, from televisions and radios to garage door locks. He couldnt always remember how to put them back together, though, which his dad definitely hated! Finally, he knew he wanted an education that went beyond just the typical something that he could call his own and that no one could take away.
In 7th grade, Dr. Susman experienced the teenage rite of passage known as braces, and at this point, he knew that working in the dental field was the perfect career path for him. About 15 years later, he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery, and the rest is history!
An Okie from Muskogee, Dr. Susman achieved his doctorate at the University of Oklahoma and has been practicing now for multiple decades. After finishing his dental requirements early, he attended the Alabama Implant Congress in Birmingham. He ended up sitting next to Dr. Leonard Linkow, the father of dental implantologyand was able to spend a week at his dental office on 5th Avenue. He was also one of the first of eight Americans who were trained in the University of Zurich in 1989 under the inventor of the CEREC Single Visit Computer Milling Device!
Today, Dr. Susman is still highly dedicated to continuing education, along with the rest of his tight-knit team, and theyre constantly finding new ways to merge traditional dentistry with the latest dental techniques and technologies.
As for personal hobbies, Dr. Susman meets with a personal trainer twice a week and runs 3.5 miles two to three times a week. He enjoys snow skiing, attending his childrens various sporting events, and watching his wife run half marathons while still being completely unable to catch up to her.
Hes also passionate about remodeling projects, which started with his Muskogee dental office. When the contractor gave him an estimate that made it sound like he was asking for all gold fixtures, he went to the library, got a book on Modern Carpentry, and tackled the entire project himself. Today, he has completed several remodel projects, including his current home and previous home!

Heather has been working alongside Dr. Susman for nearly 15 years. After attending Rogers State University, she studied at the Tulsa Technology Center for Dental Assisting. She has an enormous amount of advanced training and certifications under her belt, including nitrous oxide sedation, CEREC, 3D Cone Beam X-rays, and many more. Today, what she loves most about her position is being able to put patients at ease within the dental office right away and help them open up about their lives. This bonding is such a fulfilling experience. If she can make someone feel better about themselves, its a successful day for sure!
Originally from Pryor, Heather spends her free time driving her Semi around, branding steers, and working on her familys vegetable garden. They could absolutely fill a Trader Joes with all of their produce!
Marley has been working with Dr. Susmanfor over 10 years now. She started at the dental office right out of school when he made a commitment to her that hed train and educate her far beyond what the local trade schools had to offer. Today, she reads X-rays, designs/mills crowns with the help of CEREC, and completes all of the 3D scannings we need! More than anything else, she loves having the ability to make people smile in this line of work. It is so uplifting to share joy and laughter with patients while providing a valuable service.
Marley has been married to her spouse Sergio for a decade, and they have a wonderful son named Xavi. She is very lucky to have most of her family members also living here in Tulsa. Outside of work, soccer is her biggest hobby and has been a big part of her life for many years; in fact, its how she met her husband. They play on separate teams, which keeps their weekends busy while also giving them lots to talk about at the dinner table. Xavi likes to think that hes her soccer coach, even but she accepts his advice because she needs all of the help she can get!
