Bio
Michael McCarthy
Dr. Comisi is one of the rare breed of clinicians who can translate heavy science into digestible understanding. He is an incredibly popular and in-demand KEY OPINION LEADER within the dental and Oral Health arenas. I have had the extreme pleasure of working with him, for many dental manufacturers over the past decade. John's passion for Dentistry and systemic illnesses is unmatched. When you are with John, you are pulled into his orbit and the immense gravity keeps you there...happily. What I appreciate most about John is his candor, his true belief in evidenced based Dentistry and his unwavering commitment to our industry and his patients. I'm honored to count John as a friend...a brother. And in his down time...mention the New York Yankees or world travel...and you'll have his attention. If you have not seen Dr. Comisi speak, I highly recommend you do! His power, knowledge and acumen parallels that of a great concert. You will leave a better person for sure. The students and faculty at Medical University of South Carolina are so lucky to have him!

I've had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Comisi's lectures and talking to him one-on-one about dentistry and his techniques. Dr. Comisi has a style that is easy to listen to as he interacts well with his audience(s). I learn a great deal each time I get the opportunity to speak with him and appreciate his insight so much. For these reasons, I recommend Dr. John Comisi.
