Dr. Ben McDonald (‘04)

Ben McDonald

Class of 2004

Posted on December 21, 2020

Dr. Ben McDonald (‘04) is a dentist in West Union, OH, where he has practiced for the last seven years. Ben first took up an interest in dentistry at an HCS middle school career day, when former HCS parent Dr. George Kirtley came and shared about his career in cosmetic dentistry. Amazed by the transformations he witnessed, Ben thought dentistry could be a good career to pursue.

As he grew, Ben desired a career where he could serve a community, be his own boss, and be at the top of his field. Dentistry offered those things. And Ben loved the thought of being able to work with his hands and see instant results.

After graduating high school, Ben earned his bachelor’s from Harding University and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. He then took an associateship in West Union, OH, and has been in practice there ever since. As of three years ago, Ben owns the practice.

Ben most enjoys spending time with and serving his community.

“Helping people with their oral health, whether that is the reconstruction of their smile, restoring function, or taking their pain away brings a lot of joy,” he said.

In his free time, Ben enjoys spending time with my wife and three children, attending church events, playing hockey, and watching IU sports.
