Dr. Robert Noll is our general dentist. He completed his undergraduate studies and MBA at the University of Miami, FL and then went onto The Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at USC where he received his DDS. Dr. Noll grew up in New Jersey, but after spending his first winter in California for dental school, he decided to make the golden state his new home.
He searched for a community that would offer him the amenities of a big city as well as a good variety of outdoor activities. The Sacramento/Elk Grove community was the perfect location. When Dr. Noll isn’t working, you can find him golfing, hiking, skiing or enjoying the Lake Tahoe area with his family and beloved dog.
