Brief Intro

Dr. Bruce Watkins Welcome to our web page! I hope to meet you soon, but let me tell you a little about myself and the wonderful practice my staff and I have developed.  I graduated Dental school from Indiana University in 1998. Immediately following graduation, I was commissioned in the U.S. Naval Dental Corp. There I spent my first year finishing a General Practice Residency at Portsmouth Naval Hospital–experience in Hospital Dentistry, more exposure to dental specialty treatment, medical situations and trauma.  I was then deployed with a SeaBee battalion deploying to Puerto Rico and Okinawa.  Following my service, I came back to Indiana to a group practice in South Bend and decided that I wanted to have a more hands-on, personal practice. That is when I invested in this practice in 2002. I felt with my vast experiences in General Practice Residency, Navy and civilian training that I could build a great practice by providing quality, caring, comprehensive Elkhart dentistry. Everyday is a chance to learn and improve. My commitment to cutting-edge is clear, but also tempered by the knowledge of what has been proven and successful. I am most proud of the positive changes that I have brought to my patients lives. We have maintained the highest level of integrity, amidst busy daily schedules and often challenging situations. I recommend the best, as I would for myself and my own family. I am involved in every step of the dental experience. I make myself available to clients and staff, ensuring the highest level of client care. There is true joy and sense of fulfillment when a client positively embraces our treatments. It reminds me why I’ve chosen the dental profession as as life-long endeavor. The fun factor definitely kicks in and encourages my staff and I to continue our commitment to successful client relationships. I am especially proud of our team and their commitment to you through caring attitudes and continuous,  advanced training. Our professional team wants the experience to be as comfortable and positive as it can possibly be.
