Summary
Brian Hartwell, DDS
A distinguished family and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brian Hartwell has been practicing dentistry in Trenton for over 30 years. He jokes that that´s long enough to be seeing the children of children he first cared for when he returned Downriver. He built his practice on West Road after graduating from University of Michigan Dental School and after serving two years in the U.S. Navy as a dentist. Recently he was honored to be named one of the top dentists in the United States by the Consumer Research Council of America. "It´s gratifying to know that our striving for excellence in patient care has been recognized. I could not have received this honor without my terrific team."
Hartwell knew at a very young age that he wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. For a middle school science fair, he did an experiment soaking extracted teeth (donated by his dentist) in various beverages. Hartwell says he has never been sorry for joining the profession. "I enjoy the sense of …achievement in applying my judgment, experience, and skills in resolving problems. There is also the inner satisfaction of contributing to the physical well-being of my patients. It makes my day when I get a hug or a warm thank you note from an appreciative patient."
Brian and his wife Katie are avid sailors, competing in dozens of races each summer aboard their Abbott 33 Feisty. He founded the community sailing program at Grosse Ile Yacht Club and headed the program for 20 years in order to share his love of the sport with others. The couple have two grown children: Ellen is a University of Michgan graduate, has completed a Masters dregree at the Art Institute of Chicago , and currently is enrolled in a PhD program in Art History at the University of Illinois, Chicago. She lives in Chicago with architect husband Garry. Son Dr. Trevor Hartwell, after spending a year and a half mentoring with his father, has decided to go off and see the world. He and his wife Sara have moved to Hawaii where he is practicing with a dentist on the Big Island. We are happy he is having the adventure of a lifetime and we love hearing their fun activities via his popular blog. But best of all is paying them a visit every so often. The family loves to get together for travel, sailing and outdoor adventures.
