Dr. Michael A. Sullivan
Michael A. Sullivan, DDS is a man of many talents, skills, and
interests. His love for dentistry began at an early age as he watched
his father, David M. Sullivan, DDS, MS, share his passion for the
profession. Mike's love for and dedication to organized dentistry
later grew through his relationship with his wife's grandfather, Jack
W. Gottschalk, DDS.
Mike obtained his undergraduate training in biochemistry from the College of Charleston in South Carolina while supplementing his education with courses at the National University of Ireland at Galway and Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. He matriculated at the Ohio State University College of Dentistry in the Autumn of 2004 and graduated along with his peers on June 8, 2008 as a Doctor of Dental Surgery. His particular area of interest is oral surgery, which affords him the opportunity to make use of his surgical skills as well as his comprehensive medical and dental education. Throughout his time as a student, Mike completed many extracurricular externships at the University of Cincinnati, and at Louisiana State University of Shreveport. As a student, Mike held a multitude of leadership roles. His guidance, dedication, and commitment to his peers and the college will left a lasting impression at the college. Mike's natural talent for teaching, putting people at ease, and inspiring confidence in others lends itself perfectly to the profession of dentistry. His peers value his professional opinion and often seek his personal advice. His eagerness to help others along with his problem-solving skills make him an invaluable asset to the field. He is a clinical lecturer and his publication, the Illustrated Handbook of Clinical Dentistry available from Lexi-Comp, is used in Dental Schools and professional offices world-wide. Dr. Sullivan is truly passionate about dentistry and very committed to advanced education through his involvement with The Prestigious Seattle Study Club World Symposiums, The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, The American Dental Association, The Michigan Dental Association, The American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, The American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and the Academy of General Dentistry. In addition, he is an active member of the Charlevoix community and a member of Rotary International.
