Dr. Jeffrey Hom fell in love with dentistry while volunteering at a dental clinic while earning his Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences at the University of California. He viewed dentistry as a profession where he could interact with people and make a genuine difference in their lives. Then he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Pacific School of Dentistry and practiced as a General Dentist for six years in Northern California. He moved to New York City in 2008 to earn his certificate in endodontics at the Lutheran Medical Center. This is where he met his future wife and business partner, Dr. Meredith Overstreet.
Since opening South Austin Microendodontics, Dr. Hom has garnered a reputation for providing compassionate care with superior results. He knows that those who come to him for care are oftentimes experiencing one of the most painful and stressful events of their lives. He says, “We ask ourselves every day, ‘Why are we all here?’ Get the patient out of pain. It’s our philosophy and our whole team commits to it. We want everyone who walks through our doors to leave with a smile on their face. That is success to us.”
Dr. Hom learned his strong work ethic from his father, a professional chef who worked long hours, but he is also committed to balance in his life. He loves being a dad to his growing family, and you can occasionally find him running around Lady Bird Lake for stress relief.
