Dr. Adam Palmer began life in San Francisco, California but only lived there briefly.  As an infant, his parents moved him to the Chicago suburbs in order to be closer to his extended family.  Dr. Palmer remained in the Midwest and earned a BA in biology and a minor in classics from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  He then moved to Manhattan to attend the New York University College of Dentistry.  After completing a general practice residency at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, New York, Dr. Palmer decided to specialize in pediatric dentistry.  He then moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he completed training at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. There he met his wonderful wife Audrey who convinced to join her in Edmonton, Alberta.

Now Dr. Palmer couldn’t be happier calling Edmonton his home.  He has recently had a daughter, Victoria, join his family and looks forward to raising his family here.

"We believe that every child is unique and should have a plan for their own individual needs, situation and personality."
