Dr. Jeremy Suess grew up in a military family and lived in many places around the globe, but always called the Pacific Northwest home. He and his wife, Korine, met when they attended Bellarmine Preparatory High School in Tacoma, WA.
Jeremy received his undergraduate degree in Zoology from the University of Washington. After working for several years in the Biotechnology and Research and Development industry, Jeremy and Korine moved to Los Angeles, CA where Jeremy attended the University of Southern California Dental School and received his Doctorate in Dental Surgery. Meanwhile, Korine, a dental hygiene graduate of OHSU, practiced dental hygiene at the UCLA Faculty Practice.
After graduation, Jeremy, Korine, and their daughter, Evelyn, returned to the Pacific Northwest to be closer to family and start Jeremy’s dental career. Evelyn was quickly joined by a baby sister, Emily, and then a baby brother, Emmett. The three kids manage to keep their parents extremely busy.
Jeremy loves going out for sushi, hanging out with my family, skiing, and going to Continuing Education courses.

Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (or FAGD):
Earning Fellowship takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation.
Only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows. When you see a dentist with FAGD after their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Fellows practice these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year — not every dentist does this.
To become an AGD Fellow, a dentist must:
- Complete over 500 credit hours of CE.
- Earn 350 of those 500 credits in live courses.
- Pass an exam equal in difficulty to board certification exams.
