Patrick V. Hagerty, DMD

Born and raised in Albany, Dr. Hagerty started the practice in 1986. The emphasis, besides providing high-quality family dentistry, was hospital and implant dentistry. He created the largest private hospital dental practice in Oregon, which has been expanded and grown with the addition of Dr. Summers to the office in 2013. Furthermore, his expertise in implant dentistry has made him one of the most sought after dentists in the state. Dr. Hagerty left private practice in 2015 to join Oregon Health & Science University, where he was an assistant professor tasked with the job of restarting the hospital dentistry residency program. 2019 brought his return to private practice as Calapooia Family Dental continues to grow.

In his free time, Dr. Hagerty enjoys cooking, skiing, and fishing.
