Dr David Valenta

Dr. David Valenta grew up in farm country in rural Western Maryland as one of seven kids. As a teenager, he frequently shadowed his father, a physician. After seeing his dad find so much happiness in helping patients, Dr. Valenta decided that he wanted to dedicate his life to helping others as well, and set out on his dental journey. He earned his Bachelor’s of Science in Biotechnology from Frostburg State University before heading to the University of Maryland, Baltimore for his Doctorate of Dental Surgery. At 24, Dr. Valenta graduated from dental school as the youngest person in his class and then completed a General Practice Residency at York Hospital in Pennsylvania, where he met Dr. Driskill while she was completing an externship. When he’s not at the office, he enjoys cooking and playing board games, or getting out and traveling, hiking, backpacking, and skiing.
