Summary
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, Â advanced training. Our professional team wants the experience to be as comfortable and positive as it can possibly be.
