Biography

John C. Comisi, DDS, MAGD, is a 1983 graduate of Northwestern University Dental School. He began his career in the dental profession that same year in Ithaca, N.Y., as an associate dentist, ultimately becoming a solo practitioner. Dr. Comisi successfully operated that way until November 1989, when he was diagnosed with cancer and was unable to practice for six months. During that time, a group of fellow dentists in his area kept his practice viable until he could return to work. Dr. Comisi has been cancer-free since May 1990, and his practice continues to flourish. Dr. Comisi has been involved with the AGD in numerous ways since September 1990. He previously held many positions with the New York State AGD, including president. He has served as a delegate and alternate to the AGD House of Delegates since 1991, and was a member of the AGD Group Benefits Council, chairman of the Internet Task Force—which was responsible for the development and implementation of the AGD website—and chairman of the subsequent AGD Internet Council. He recently received the New York State AGD’s Meritorious Service Award for his “dedication and service to (his) peers and his patients by setting high standards in dentistry.”
