Oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Atlanta & Cumming. Dr. Abtin Shahriari, a surgeon who listens.
Dr. Abtin Shahriari, DMD, MPH, is the oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Greater Atlanta Oral & Facial Surgery. Patients call him Dr. Abtin. He completed eight years of dental and surgical training at Penn and Emory, and he treats every patient at this practice himself, at its two offices in Atlanta (Buckhead) and Cumming.
Philosophy
Most of the consultation is spent listening.
Dr. Abtin's consultations start with your concerns, not his plan. He wants to know what is bothering you, what you have already tried, what worries you about surgery and what a good result would look like in your own words.
From there, you are part of the planning. He shows you the scan, explains the options that fit your anatomy and your health, and talks through sedation choices so the decision is shared. The aim is simple: you should never feel like a spectator to your own treatment.
Training
Eight years of dental and surgical training.
Science at Emory, public health at Rollins, then eight years of dental and surgical training: dentistry at Penn, then four years of oral and maxillofacial surgery training back at Emory.

Beyond the practice
Project Global Smile.
Dr. Abtin founded Project Global Smile, a nonprofit that treats children born with cleft lip and palate in underserved regions of the world, where surgical care for these conditions can be hard to reach.
The work grew out of a longer history of service. Before Project Global Smile, he volunteered in Songea, Tanzania, and took part in CDC polio eradication work in Bihar, India, experience that drew on his public health training.
