Dr Samuel R Paterson is a male General Dentist.

During Sam’s childhood and adolescent years he spent a lot of time in the dental chair undergoing complex dental treatment due to dental trauma.

In 2014 Sam made the move to the beautiful Bay and had the opportunity of working for a local Maori provider as a general dentist. Sam was able to critique his skills and help thousands of low income adults.
For the last few years Sam has been working in private practice at Baywide Smiles in Greerton utilising enhancing his skills in crown and bridge work.
