A Southern California native, Dr. Abed earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology from UCLA. He then moved to Boston to attend dental school at Harvard University, where he received his D.M.D. During dental school, he spent a month studying at a dental school in Paris — an experience that broadened his perspective on treatment approaches used outside the U.S.
Following dental school, Dr. Abed completed his orthodontic specialty residency at the Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, earning both his orthodontic certificate and a Master's degree in Oral Biology. During his residency, he conducted multiple research projects, authored three published research articles, and presented his findings at professional conferences in several cities — training that grounds his treatment planning in current clinical research rather than dated technique.
Dr. Abed's academic background — spanning research, international study, and hospital-based residency — shapes an approach that treats each orthodontic case individually rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol.
