He loves sports, is a former professional Major League Lacrosse player and is a father to children and a Bernese Mountain dog, but those aren’t the only reasons patients appreciate Dr. Matt Baran. With an extensive educational background in dentistry accompanied by years of continuous experience in the latest, most innovative dental approaches, there are multiple reasons why Dr. Baran is the dentist that Wilmington patients choose.
Looking for an Experienced Dentist in Wilmington? Dr. Baran Is Your Guy
Dr. Baran, the dentist that Wilmington patients trust, went on to pursue dental training at the Temple University School of Dentistry after receiving a B.A. in Biology. Directly after dental school, he completed his general practice residency at York Hospital in York, PA, and has been practicing privately ever since.
Now, Dr. Baran continues to supplement his education by investing over 50 hours each year to make sure he’s up-to-date with the latest technology and dental approaches. He’s also an active member of the American Dental Association and the Delaware State Dental Society.
Not all clients may know that Dr. Baran being a member of the ADA ultimately adds value to you as the patient. Why? To be an official member of the ADA, dentists are required to uphold several standards, including:
- Respect
- Dentists are to respect the wants and needs of patients, while also honoring their privacy and confidentiality. This means making communication a top priority, and keeping patients informed and educated in every aspect of the treatments and services they receive.
- Safety
- In the “do no harm” protocol of ADA membership, dentists are encouraged to remain dedicated to maintaining knowledge and skill sets that match modern standards. In doing so, they are empowering themselves and ensuring their patients receive the safest, most effective dental care possible.
- Responsibility
- The “do good clause” builds upon the idea that in addition to respecting client confidentiality and safety, dentists will strive to also provide the highest-quality, most timely dental care.
- Fairness
- ADA dental members must treat all patients equally regardless of their socioeconomic background, race, creed and religion.
- Honesty
- The basis of any healthy relationship is trust, and dentists are no exception! That’s why the ADA includes the initiative to “be truthful.” It’s imperative that dentists be honest, transparent and empathetic in the communication with and treatment of their patients.
Of course, it also helps to know that your dentist has a passion and priority for his/her profession, something that Dr. Baran certainly has.
