Dr. Sherman wanted to be a dentist since about the age of 4. He grew up watching his father, Dr. Harvey Sherman, treating his patients and developed a passion for the profession at a very young age. He attended the Ohio State University for his undergraduate degree, and following graduation, he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, and completed his dental education at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine. After dental school, he completed a General Practice Residency at Miami Valley Hospital, in Dayton, Ohio.

 
Once his formal training was complete, he joined his father in private practice and they practiced together for many years. Dr. Sherman also stayed affiliated with Miami Valley Hospital and ran the TMJ clinic at the hospital for more than 10 years. Dr. Sherman’s passion for dentistry was so infectious that his son Michael also chose to follow in his father’s footsteps and is now a practicing endodontist.

Dr. Richard Sherman and his wife Connie are now living in San Diego, where they moved to be near their children. Dr. Sherman formed Torrey Pines Dental Arts, and is very pleased that Dr. Michael is now practicing with his father on a part-time basis, a dream come true for them both. In addition to private practice, both father and son are volunteering their time at the Dental Free Clinic in San Diego.

Dr. Sherman is very active in organized dentistry and maintains many professional affiliations. He is a charter member of the International Association of Comprehensive Aesthetics, a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, International Association of Orthodontics, American Orthodontic Society, Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and the Alpha Omega Fraternity. Dr. Sherman treated many orthodontic cases during the 20 years he practiced general dentistry and has recently become certified in Invisalign®.
