Dr Robert VanDeVelde

Dr. VanDeVelde graduated from Warren High School in 1978 and completed his undergraduate work at Michigan State University. He earned his DDS degree at the University of Detroit School of Dentistry in 1985 and was in private practice in Clawson, Michigan before joining the United States Air Force Dental Corps in 2003. During his service, he completed 2 years of advanced education in a general dentistry residency program at Lackland Air Force Base at the Wilford Hall Medical and Dental Center. He received board certification in 2006. He was also the Deputy Director of United States Air Force, Wright -Patterson Air Force Base, completing a year of advanced education in the general dentistry residency program in 2007 and in 2008. Dr. VanDeVelde has found his work at VanDeVelde & Matheson DDS PC to be the perfect opportunity following his time in the Air Force. During his service, his training was geared toward being one dentist in a remote location, providing a variety of services. The rural setting for our practice has suited him very well. He and his wife Sandy feel that have the best of both worlds. They enjoy everything that Michigan’s Thumb has to offer in experiences and friendships. But, they also enjoy getting away to the city to see their children. In many ways, Dr. VanDeVelde is the “founding father” of VanDeVelde & Matheson DDS PC, having been a part of the practice since 2007 when he purchased it. He has over 30 years of clinical experience that he uses to be a mentor in the organization. But he also feels fortunate to work with younger dentists who possess exceptional talent. Together with our team, he has been able to create an environment that leads to continued excellence in patient care. He is proud of the care we provide, and thankful for the professional relationships at our office.
