Meet Dr. Greenhalgh


Here's a little history on Dr. Greenhalgh,if you are new to our office or our website!

Dr. Greenhalgh went on to attend University of Florida College of Dentistry.  During dental school he was involved in research of periodontal disease, took as many orthodontic and oral surgery electives as possible, and spent many extra hours in the oral surgery clinic.  Dr. Greenhalgh also went on a dental mission trip to the Dominican Republic, where he was a Spanish translator and provided dental work for the many people that do not have access to dental care.

After graduating from the University of Florida College of Dentistry, Dr. Greenhalgh did some surgical rotations at a hospital in New York City.  He practiced in Dallas before eventually moving to El Paso, where he took over for a doctor that was retiring, Dr. Connie Nicholson.
