Stephen D. MacGregor, D.D.S.

I became interested in dentistry in childhood while visiting my family dentist. He was a kind and caring man who was very good with children, and I wanted to be just like him. So, I decided in the fourth grade to become a dentist. Later, in my third year of college I was one of two students who were accepted one year early to dental school. I entered dental school at the age of 19. During dental school I set two goals. I wanted to earn a Masters Degree in Oral Pathology and also to have a private practice. After my two year Oral Pathology residency, I taught Oral Medicine and Treatment Planning at Emory University School of Dentistry. I also was a part of the Emory Faculty private practice. In 1992 I moved to Newport News where I have been in private practice since. My years on the Dental Faculty and my years in private practice since 1977 have given me the opportunity to be a well-rounded dentist. My philosophy is one of personal attention. I get to know each of my patients when I clean your teeth. I give you my time, my caring, my attention and my education in order to give you the best care that I can. I love my staff and they help me in my strive for excellence.

In my private life my wife and I love to camp. I also enjoy hiking and fishing, reading, swimming and gardening. My wife and I have a beautiful grown daughter Carri and two Chihuahuas. My family and I are members of Hidenwood Presbyterian Church where I have been a deacon and usher.

I welcome you into our family of patients. I look forward to meeting you and helping you maintain your teeth for a lifetime.
