Meet Dr. Jakob

Dr. Alen Jakob, a native New Yorker, graduated from Case School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, OH (2012). During his time there, Dr. Jakob developed a deep interest in the history, intricacies, and art of Endodontics.

As a student at Case Western, Dr. Jakob served as president of the Endodontics club and was awarded the prestigious student achievement award by the American Association of Endodontists. During his after-school hours, he volunteered at The Free Dental Clinic of Greater Cleveland to save teeth that were planned to be extracted due to lack of available endodontic care.
