About Me
Dr. Paul Anderson has always enjoyed working with his hands and doing things that required hand-eye coordination. But it was a pre-dental class in college, at the University of Utah, that decided his career as a dentist.

He is now a Fellow of the American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, as well as a member of numerous other professional organizations.
