Ernest H. McDowell, D.M.D., Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics.

My greatest passion for creating beautiful smiles comes from the positive difference it makes in peoples lives.  It's always amazing and fulfiling to see what a difference it makes in overall self-esteem  and self-confidence.  A person who smiles is always happier!  I have been blessed with the opportunity of helping positively impact so many lives and creating such a large extended  family of patients and friends.

I was fortunate to have been born in St. Petersburg, and have lived here all my life (except when away for my education).  My education was completed at the following:

Dixie Hollins High School - Diploma 1974-1977
Univ. of South Florida - B.A. Biology 1977-1981
Univ. of Florida College of Dentistry - D.M.D 1981-1985
Graduated with Honors from the Univ. of Louisville College of Dentistry 1985-1987
Orthodontic Residency Specialist
Board Certification in Orthodontics 1996

My leisure time involves anything outdoors, including boating, skiing, triathlons, and spending time with my family.
