Michael Harrington DDS Let me introduce myself, I was born and raised in Bakersfield, California. I graduated eighth in my class at North High School, Bakersfield California. I moved to Nampa, Idaho to attend Northwest Nazareene University (NNU). At NNU I graduated with honors on the deans list with a BS in Biology. I then moved to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Meharry Medical College (MMC). I graduated from MMC in the top 5% of my class with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. I missed California so much during the eight years of my education that I decided to move back. I chose Ventura for its wonderful climate, friendly people and small town atmosphere. I earned my California State Dental License in 2000. I was an associate in Ventura County for two years, then in April 2002 I opened my private practice in Ventura, California. I am a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), and the Santa Barbara / Ventura County Dental Society (SBVCDS). I am also a member of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). I am thoroughly enjoying my patients and developing a mutual respect and friendship with them over the years. I am looking forward to serving the community that I live and work in, and hope that you will allow me to take care of you and your entire family now, and for years to come. Sincerely, Dr. Michael Harrington
