Dr Stephen Parker

Dr. Stephen Parker was a long-time resident of Summerville, but is very excited to relocate back to the Upstate and be near his alma mater Clemson University. His family moved to the area in 1978, and he graduated from Summerville High in 1988. He attended Clemson University and received his B.S. and doctorate in microbiology and molecular medicine. After a successful career in pharmaceutical research and development, Dr. Parker made the decision to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a dentist. Dr. Parker earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Medical College of Georgia. He worked several years in Augusta, but he returned home to Summerville in 2015. He is an active member of both the American Dental Association and South Carolina Dental Association, and his greatest joy is working with individuals who have had difficult dental experiences in the past. Dr. Parker understands this is a significant barrier to quality dental care — one that many patients want to overcome. He realizes that many of these patients simply need someone to listen to their fears, so he helps develop treatment plans that take their concerns into consideration. Dr. Parker’s interests outside of dentistry include golf, college football, coaching his children’s sports teams, and spending time with his wife and two wonderful children.
