About the Doctor
Baton Rouge has unsuccessfully tried to oust Dr. Dustin for over 40 years. Even though no other city will take him, we like to tell him he’s wanted and needed here. Despite what many of his patients think, he has a legitimate dental degree. Yes, it’s from LSU. No, he didn’t think of going anywhere else. He’s at a sweet spot in his career…he mostly knows what he’s doing and has the energy to do it another 20-25 years. He is left eye dominant, has small hands which are not yet shaky, and is a perfectionist to a fault. He and Liz have 2 of the best boys you’ll ever see—Sam and Levi. They are dog lovers and have a golden retriever, Leo. Dustin is an aspirational chef, golfer, traveler, stoic, and reader/writer. He has retired from running, dancing, basketball, racquetball, hacky sacking, and beach volleyball. He’s a phenomenal coach and referee from the comforts of his home and is always willing to give out advice—solicited or unsolicited—on many topics but especially sports, parenting, and common sense.
