What is the "MAGD" after
Dr. Grossman's name?!

Most dentists have a DDS after their name (Doctor of Dental Surgery), or a DMD (Doctor of Medical Dentistry). Why does Dr. Grossman have an MAGD after his DDS?

MAGD stands for: Master of the Academy of General Dentistry.  We're excited to say that it's a recognition he has earned!  Read more below.
