Episode #2 of Dentists, Implants and Worms: We had the honor of
interviewing one of Dr. Justin Moody's closest mentors and colleagues in
his career, Dr. Danny Domingue, DDS.
Dr. Daniel Domingue was born
and raised in Lafayette, LA. He graduated from St. Thomas More in 1999
and went on to receive his Bachelor of Science degree from Louisiana
State University in Baton Rouge and his DDS degree from the LSU School
of Dentistry in New Orleans.
While spending three years in
advanced training at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in
New York City, he served as Chief Resident of the Dental and Oral
Surgery Department. His training included one year in Advanced General
Dentistry and two years in Dental Implantology.
During these
years, he was awarded the Certificate of Achievement from the American
Academy of Implant Dentistry for outstanding leadership in Implant
Dentistry, a Fellowship from the International Congress of Oral
Implantologists, and an Associate Fellowship of the American Academy of
Implant Dentistry. Dr. Domingue was also awarded Diplomate from the
American Board of Oral Implantology, the highest award possible for a
general dentist practicing implantology. He was also recognized as the
youngest recipient of this award in the entire world.
Dr.
Domingue was later given a Mastership and Diplomate award from the
International Congress of Oral Implantology for his outstanding work in
Implant Dentistry. Dr. Domingue is a member of the American Dental
Association as well as the Acadiana District Dental Association. He is
also an active member of the American Academy of General Dentistry.
After completing his residency program, Dr. Domingue married the love
of his life, Megan, in Denver, CO. They decided to move back to
Louisiana to settle down, practice dentistry, and raise their family. On
August 2nd, 2012, he and Megan were blessed with their first-born baby
girl, Elle Ann Domingue.
After practicing for three years in
Lake Charles, Dr. Domingue accepted an offer from his uncle, Dr. Smith,
to become a partner in his practice. This proved to be a great
opportunity for he and his family to move back home as well as to join
his uncle’s practice and carry on a tradition established more than 30
years ago.
Dr. Domingue and his wife are excited to be back in
Lafayette with family, friends, food, and the rich culture. You can
