I knew at an early age that I wanted to be a dentist. I attended Creighton University for both my undergraduate and dental school degree. During dental school I realized that pediatrics was my passion; the area I wanted to pursue. I completed a pediatric specialty residency at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital in Ohio. Returning to my home state of Wisconsin, my wife and I settled in Eau Claire in 1990; raised three kids and have made the Chippewa Valley our home.
The best part of my job is the relationships that I (and my staff) develop with our patients and their parents. Since the beginning of my practice I have taken the time to personally interact and get to know my patients interests and whats happening in their lives. By taking the time to listen to their dental concerns and their life adventures, I am able to build trust and instill that a dental visit can be FUN. Seeing kids come into the office looking forward to their visit and wanting to share a new story with me is what makes my job the best.
I continue to enjoy working in the ever changing dental field. Continuing education is an important part of my job and I regularly participate in learning opportunities whether its for infection control, federal guidelines or new restorative/preventative materials. I remain up to date and involved in local and state dental issues. I am an active member of the following dental organizations:

The best pediatric dentist ever! My littlest has had a rough go of it with his teeth. Dr. Turner & staff are caring, gentle Pro's!! When a 4yr old has to have a tooth pulled and doesn't know it's been done already until you show him proof a half hour later, you know you have a good dentist! Laughs & giggles, but no tears. Thank you!! Thank you!!

My Daughter had a bad experience with a dentist at an early age and has been terrified of them since. Dc. Turner gave her time and treated her well. The partial sedation knocked her out but they took good care. On this side of the expense the wife and I are happy. We would recommend Dc. Turner for others in the same situation.
