Personal Profile
Dr. Abraham was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and moved to the Chicagoland area with his family where he was raised. During his education at North Central College in Naperville, Dr. Abraham excelled both in academics and baseball. He was an all-conference and all-region athlete and obtained academic excellence accolades yearly. Over the course of Dr. Abrahams's time at North Central College, he spent many hours observing his uncle, Dr. Clayton Parks, who is an orthodontist in Cedar Rapids. This is when he discovered his true passion for dentistry.
After his graduation from The University of Iowa in 2016, Dr. Abraham dedicated his time to practicing in an under-served community in northern Wisconsin, where he grew in his skill set for treating a multitude of dental needs. Moving back to Iowa, Dr. Abraham desired to be closer to family who reside throughout Cedar Rapids.
In his free time, Dr. Abraham enjoys spending time with family and two adorable girls, watching the Chicago Cubs and Iowa Hawkeyes, playing the piano, traveling, and in his Bible study.

"If dentistry isn't mixed with personal attention and concern, it's purely mechanical. You deserve gentle, personalized care, and so does each member of your family. I spend extra time to get to know you and answer your questions, helping you feel comfortable with your dental care.
One of my professors at dental school said, 'Your greatest challenge as a dentist will be to apply everything you learn in this school to giving the best possible dental care to every person who sits in your chair.' Each day, I'm guided by that thought."
