Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD
Dr. Robert G. McNeill is a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. He
holds the designation of Diplomate, American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery. He is currently a board member with the Texas State Board of Dental

safety issues and report to both the state dental board and the legislature.
He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Associ-
ation, the Dallas County Dental Society, the American Association of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgeons and a member of the Dental Honorary Society-Omikron
Kappa Upsilon. He is certified in ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support), PALS

national lecturer on the topics of dental implants, communication, emergency
preparedness and patient safety.
Growing up in Canada, Dr. McNeill has always been a hockey fan. He has
been the official oral and maxillofacial surgeons for the Dallas Stars and if
you look close enough you may just see the odd bruise since he still plays
hockey himself.
Treating patients at the clinic was hard work but the rewards the team
received were a true blessing.
Dr. McNeill is married to Jennifer Lee (Johnson) McNeill. She was raised in
Garland. She trained as a general surgeon and then exclusively devoted her
practice to the treatment of breast cancer. After several years in practice she
made the decision to step aside from practice to spend more time and attention
on their three boys. They are all active in their local church as well as various
mission works. One of their favorite mission trips has been the Goats for God
program in Costa Rica and Family Legacy in Zambia, Africa.
