James A. Snyder, DDS, MS
Dr. James A. Snyder
Dr. James Snyder is a Diplomate of the American Dental Board of Anesthesiology and is one of only a few dentists to be both a Diplomate of the Association of Special Care Dentists and the multidisciplinary American Academy of Pain Management. The term Diplomate is the formal title for a person who is 'board certified'. Diplomate status in a professional organization is usually the highest credential a medical discipline has to confer. It requires post doctoral training of one or more years in the field and peer examination. These examinations are usually both oral and written and require at least one full day to complete. All examinees do not pass. Only the most qualified become "Diplomates". Dr. Snyder's 'triple boarded' status is extremely rare in the health care fields and almost unique in dentistry.
These achievements reflect Dr. Snyder's primary professional interest which is combining comprehensive dental care with state-of-the-art pain and anxiety control, serving even those patients who have serious chronic medical problems or other compromising conditions. It is his belief that the only impediment to a healthy mouth should be a willingness to achieve it. All other obstacles can be surmounted by competent, thoughtful and skillful application of modern medicine.
Dr. Snyder is also a Fellow of the prestigious American College of Dentists and the Academy of General Dentistry. The American College of Dentists is made up of a tiny percentage of the top dentists alive in the United States chosen by their peers for this honor.
His undergraduate degree in chemistry came from Allegheny College and his dental degree from the Ohio State University. Dr. Snyder served in the United States Navy and then completed his residency in anesthesiology at George Washington University Medical Center and later earned a Master of Science degree in Health Sciences. He is the author of numerous professional publications including chapters in two internationally recognized textbooks. Dr. Snyder has lectured internationally on pain and anxiety control in dentistry. Publications, presentations and lectures number more than 100 in his thirty year career. He and his wife, Wendy, live in Alexandria.
