Mr Paul Ouano,

I’m delighted to have been invited to be the newest member of the Hamilton Family Dental staff. I welcome the opportunity to share 30 years of clinical experience and expertise with you, the patient community. From the moment I stepped into the clinic I was amazed at the friendliness, compassion, and dedication of the people here. Dr. Podolnick and his talented staff have exemplary clinical skills and provide high-quality care, all in a very clean, safe, and state-of-the-art facility. The culture, values, and goals here are not only familiar to me - they’re comforting. I love what they have here. It’s a perfect place to be a patient. I come to you from the shorefront community of South Amboy where I was in private practice for 35 years. I received my dental degree from the Fairleigh S. Dickinson College of Dental Medicine after which I completed a general practice residency at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ. My education before dental school included attendance at Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, NJ, and Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. I consider myself a progressive practitioner and forever the student I actively participate in continuing education, particularly with the Jersey Shore University Medical Center Dental Education continuum associated with Hackensack Meridian Health and the University of Pennsylvania. I love the water. You may find me swimming, paddling, surfing, or walking my dog on a beach somewhere. I love and am married to Susan and together we find our greatest joy in being parents and grandparents to extraordinary people. I love all sports and my hobbies include food, travel, pop art, comics, movies, music, golf, nature-walking skiing, landscaping, skywatching, reading, and learning new things. It is a unique responsibility to serve you by providing the best dental care I can deliver. It is a unique privilege to be this relevant part of people’s lives. Sharing my dedication to the pursuit of optimal oral health with every patient is my passion. A healthy mouth is essential to a person’s overall quality of life. I don’t HAVE to practice dentistry every day. But it’s a gift to GET to be a dentist every day. And that makes me happy. I look forward to meeting you.
