Patrick Campbell, DDS
Dr. Patrick Campbell is a Cincinnati, OH native. Dental school had him bleed blue in the culture of University of Kentucky basketball before serving in the US Army in both Texas and North Carolina. He enjoys hiking around the greenbelt, hitting fastballs at the batting cage and all of the live music venues around the city.
The Austin area left a lasting impression on him that brought him moving back to Texas to live out his desire to build compassion-based, long-term relationships with all his patients,
striving to exceed standards of care from initial exam and diagnosis and through all phases of treatment. Every patient, every smile, and every procedure present a unique set of qualities and challenges. There is no one size fits all treatment. Dr. Campbell treats every patient in a way that fits them and their unique case. The patient’s goals and desires are top priority in his hands. He enjoys bringing a healthy and vibrant smile back to life and sending it off to brighten the world. Getting to use his artistic skills for cosmetics and precise care to provide comfort are some of his strong suits. Dr. Campbell has great respect for his profession and spends countless hours studying, taking continuing education courses, and applying the advances of dentistry. He believes that any benefit the dental career provides him will be returned tenfold through compassionate and comprehensive care and a never- ending desire to learn.
