As a young man growing up in Provo, Utah, Dr. Bradley Porter was first introduced to the practice of oral surgery during a visit to his best friend’s uncle. He says, “After observing his practice, I knew it was what I wanted to do.” His determination to become an oral surgeon remained with him through his undergraduate years at Brigham Young University and helped him excel in his studies at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, where he was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the National Dental Honor Society.

A Mesa native, Dr. Romney graduated from the Valley’s very own Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health at A.T. Still University in 2010, and was the first graduate of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency program at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital – the first such program offered in the state of Arizona. After completing his residency, Dr. Romney stayed on as an attending doctor, instructing residents and dental students in all aspects of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
