Welcome, Dr. Robert Patenaude! 🦷
We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Robert Patenaude to the Knox Clinic team!
A Maine native, Dr. Patenaude grew up in Augusta and earned his psychology degree from the University of Maine before attending Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. He spent 36 years practicing dentistry alongside his father and sister at the family practice, Patenaude Dentistry, which had served the Augusta community since 1953.
After selling the family practice earlier this year, Dr. Patenaude found his way to Knox Clinic—and we’re so grateful he did! He was drawn to our mission of making quality dental and health care accessible to the Midcoast community, and he has already been met with the same warmth and enthusiasm that we feel about welcoming him.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Patenaude enjoys skiing, biking, kayaking, walking his two standard poodles, and practicing yoga. He and his wife of more than 40 years have also made the decision to call Midcoast Maine home.
Please join us in giving Dr. Patenaude a warm Knox Clinic welcome! 💙 We’re so excited to have him on our team and look forward to all that’s ahead.
