Chicago (August 01, 2011)—The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), a professional association of more than 37,000 general dentists dedicated to staying up to date in the profession through continuing education to better serve the public, is pleased to announce that John C. Comisi, DDS, MAGD, of Ithaca, NY, received the association’s 2011 Mastership award during the AGD 2011 Annual Meeting & Exhibits, held July 28 to 31 in San Diego, California.

The Mastership award is the highest honor available at the AGD and one of the most respected designations within the profession. To accomplish this goal, Comisi completed over 1,100 hours of continuing dental education.

As a recipient of the Mastership award, Comisi joins more than 2,200 active AGD Masters who understand that providing great smiles and good oral health for their patients are the result of going above and beyond basic requirements.

“We are proud to honor Dr. Comisi for his commitment to provide the highest quality of oral care to his patients,” says AGD President Howard Gamble, DMD, FAGD. “There are more than 100,000 general dentists in the country and less than one percent of those are Masters with the AGD. It’s a remarkable accomplishment for Dr. Comisi.”

Comisi graduated from Northwestern University Dental School in 1983 and currently practices dentistry in Ithaca, NY.  In addition to the AGD, Comisi is a member of the American Dental Association, the New York State Dental Association, the New York State Academy of General Dentistry, the American Equilibration Society, the International Association of Dental Research and the American Association of Dental Research.  He is also a Research Associate at New York University Dental School.

Comisi and his wife, Karen, have 4 children, Michael, Cheryl, Alicia and Daniel, and 7 grandchildren, Samantha, Brianna, Dominick, Gina, Clarissa, Theresa, and Mickey.
