Dr. William A. Howland

Dr. William Howland was born and raised in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, graduating from Glen Ridge High School in 1990.

He attended Albright College as a biology major and was granted early acceptance to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Upon graduating in the top 2% of his class, Dr. Howland was nominated to the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society.

Dr. Howland chose to pursue a career in general dentistry and pursued hospital-based training as a Resident in General Dentistry at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital (through the Harvard Dental School).

The following year, Dr. Howland was invited to serve as chief resident, mentoring and educating the incoming class of general practice dentists. This position gave Dr. Howland the opportunity to teach at the Harvard Dental School as a Clinical Fellow in General Dentistry.

During his time in Boston, Dr. Howland also spent two years at the Dana Farber Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Center, where he learned how to pre-treat the complications that can arise from the treatment of those cancers. A number of non-dental medical issues can present as oral complications, and the ability to recognize these symptoms can have life-saving results.

Dr. Howland is married to Suzanne (Rehrig) Howland, a lifelong Lehighton resident and principal in the Lehighton Area School District. They currently reside in the borough of Lehighton, along with their two children, Addison and Anna.
