For close to 40 years, Dr. Barber has been committed to his profession and dedicated to his patients. His fascination with dentistry began at an early age and for his undergraduate education, he attended Brandeis University. He graduated with a major in Biology in 1980 and a determination to become a doctor of dental medicine. After a brief career in genetic research, Dr. Barber attended Tufts University School of Dentistry and attained his DMD designation in 1985.
In addition to his academic successes, Dr. Barber also excelled at his residency, rotating through New England Medical Center, Carney Hospital, Fernald School for the Handicapped and Shattuck Hospital.
