Dr. Resnick is an active member of the multidisciplinary Craniofacial and Vascular Anomalies teams. In addition to these clinical interests, Dr. Resnick practices a full scope of outpatient “primary care” oral surgery, including the use of ambulatory intravenous anesthesia, removal of third molars (wisdom teeth) and management of other impacted teeth, placement of dental implants, and complex bone grafting.

Dr. Resnick was born and raised in St. Petersburg, FL. He attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia for undergraduate school, and continued at Penn to earn his dental degree. He then moved to Boston to earn his medical degree at Harvard Medical School and complete a 6-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program at the Massachusetts General Hospital. His residency training included 2 years as a general surgery resident, as well as extensive training in inpatient and outpatient general anesthesia. This anesthesia training allows Dr. Resnick to hold an active General Anesthesia Permit. Dr. Resnick’s education also included training in pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery here at Boston Children’s Hospital. After completing his residency training, Dr. Resnick went in to private practice in the New York area for several years before deciding to return to academic surgery.
