For Dr. Vanik, one of the best parts of being a dentist is transforming someones perspective of the field from fear due to poor past experiences to overwhelming positivity. Rebuilding their confidence through recreating their natural smile will always be a rewarding experience for him! Today, hes proud to follow in his father's footsteps by serving the practice he founded and honoring the tradition of making quality patient care top priority.
Dr. Vaniks college career started at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where he studied biochemistry and molecular biology. This prior course allowed him to approach dentistry through a very scientific lens. He then pursued his dental doctorate at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, which was great for a few different reasons. First, because its the first dental school in the world and offers outstanding training in conventional dental techniques, and second, because they spend a great deal of time ensuring that dentists who graduate from the program are very confident with procedures that many graduates from other schools dont quite master.
Dr. Vanik is married to his lovely wife Adeline and is fortunate to have two wonderful parents, two awesome in-laws, and a younger brother. When he isnt busy at work, he loves to travel! So far, hes gone throughout Europe, North America, and some of Asia with his wife; personally, hes reached 25 countries in total. His experiences overseas and around the country have definitely broadened his perspective. He also really enjoys trying foods and drinks from other cultures.
As for personal hobbies, he likes to hunt, fish, read, and work out. Hes a big sports fan too and keeps up with international soccer in particular in fact, he and Adeline were both the captains of their respective varsity soccer teams in high school!
After serving the Annapolis area for over 35 years by providing high-quality and individualized dentistry, Dr. Vanik has retired. Hes delighted to be able to give his patients into the capable hands of his son, Dr. John Vanik, who he trusts to deliver the same level of care and service that he did while staying involved in the community. After all, he has been part of the family dental practice from the beginning!
What is Dr. Vaniks plan now? Simply put, he hopes to spend as much time as possible enjoying life with family, and relaxing into his new role as Grandfather to the greatest little boy (other than his own two). Hes also excited about getting some unpressured time in travelling and fishing!
Dr. Vanik is extremely grateful for the life dentistry has given him, and he looks forward to what this next phase will bring for both him and the practice. Most of all, he would just like to say thank you to all of the patients and team members that made his wonderful career possible!
