About Larry R. Pawl, DMD
Dr. Larry Pawl and his team offer restorative and cosmetic dental services to residents of La Mesa and San Diego. Dr. Pawl was born in Chicago in 1959 and has been a resident of California since 1963. He moved to San Diego in 1987 after graduating from dental school at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. He opened his first practice in 1988 and has been in private practice in San Diego since that time. Dr. Pawl earned his Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentisty in July 2011. To become a fellow, Dr. Pawl completed over 500 hours of continuing education and had to pass the A.G.D.’s fellowship exam. He plans to continuing working towards his Mastership with the Academy of General Dentistry over the next several years. Dr. Pawl married his wife Robin in 1987 and together they share a love of all types of animals! They have had many varieties of pets including ducks, rabbits, Sun Conure (small parrot), Blue & Gold Macaw (large parrot), Great Dane, African Cichlids (fish), and families of skunks and oppossums. Currently Dr. Pawl and Robin enjoy spending time with their dog, a Schipperke named “Oley” (pronounced O-Lee), their four horses Clem, Fire, Kalio and Prince and their parrot Taylor. Outside of his love of dentistry, Dr. Pawl enjoys skiing, scuba diving, horseback riding, hiking, bike riding, skydiving (he’s been 3 times!), and photography! Many of you who know Dr. Pawl know that his number one hobby is GUNS! He and Robin are both avid shooters and enjoy teaching others how to shoot safely. He and his staff even make trips to the shooting range together! Dr. Pawl has worked with numerous charitable organizations throughout his 22 years in dentistry including Doctors With A Heart, Coe Lewis’ “Coe’s List” on 101.5 KGB radio (helping San Diegan’s in need), and The Magic Horse Therapeutic Riding Center. Dr. Pawl’s wife Robin Pawl is the founder/director of The Magic Horse Therapeutic Riding Center located in Lakeside. Please visit her website for more information!
