Dr. Kosick

Dr. Kosick is a 2000 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and treats patients in both our Sandy Lake and Meadville offices since July of 2000.

Dr. Kosick earned his bachelor's degree in secondary education in 1987 from The Pennsylvania State University, and returned to his home school district of Moniteau in northern Butler County to teach social studies and coach track and field. After several years he returned to Penn State to prepare for his entrance into dental school.

During his senior year at Pitt, Dr. Kosick realized his need to trade the hustle of the city for the rural countryside and slowed pace of life that western Mercer County offers. He appreciates the rapport and common interests he shares with his patients and strives to provide sound, conservative, comprehensive care in all aspects of dental science. He currently lives in Grove City with Ellen, his wife of 19 years, and their three children. In his "theoretical" spare time Dr. Kosick enjoys hunting, golfing, spending time with his family and hoping against hope that his Nittany Lions will someday beat the Michigan Wolverines.

Dr. Kosick currently sees patients on Mondays in our Meadville office, and on Tuesdays through Fridays in our Sandy Lake office.
