Meet Our Doctor
Welcome! I’m Dr. Robert J. Clark, I’m originally from Milan, a small town in West Tennessee. I attended undergraduate school at Middle Tennessee State University. I received my Dentistry degree from the University of Tennessee at Memphis. I finished Dental School in 1974 and started my own private practice in 1975. My practice is geared towards Family Dental Care with a strong emphasis on prevention. I’ve been married to my wife Robbie Clark for many years, and we have four children and three grandchildren. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, and I look forward for the opportunity to serve you and your family.
