TAO Member Spotlight: Meet Dr. Perryman

“I’ve been invited to quinceañeras, football games, birthday parties and I kind of become an extension of their family just by being their orthodontist” – Dr. Shaun Perryman

Dr. Shaun Perryman owns his own orthodontic practice in San Antonio, Texas and he is grateful for the opportunity to work in a profession that combines his love of art and science. His relationships with his patients over the course of treatment are the fuel that keeps him motivated and enthusiastic to come to the office every day.

Dr. Perryman was born in Chicago, IL and raised in August, GA, but has called San Antonio his home since 2012. He graduated from Dental School in 2008 from Howard School of Dentistry in Washington DC, and completed his orthodontic residency at the Roseman University of Health Sciences in Henderson, NV. 

Dr. Perryman attended arts school when he was younger, and he always knew that he wanted to incorporate his artistic side into his profession. When he learned about how orthodontics blends science and art, he was hooked. 

After being recruited by a larger practice, Dr. Perryman moved to San Antonio and worked there for three years. In 2016 Dr. Perryman decided to go his own route and open his practice in San Antonio. He focuses on relationship building with his patients, and part of that is ensuring that his patient load is manageable so he can spend enough time with each individual. He also provides a free initial consultation to all patients, which includes gathering records and a thorough presentation about potential treatment so patients can make a fully informed decision before investing in their treatment.

One of his most memorable cases was working with an 83-year-old patient with a dream of having a smile he was proud of. With clear aligner treatment at Dr. Perryman’s office, the patient’s smile and self-esteem was transformed over the course of months. Dr. Perryman developed a friendship with the patient and they still keep in touch today. 

After living all over the United States, Dr. Perryman was more than happy to put down some roots in the vibrant, diverse city of San Antonio. One thing he loves about San Antonio is the art scene, and in his spare time he enjoys live music, theater, immersing himself in other cultures, and reading. 

If you live in San Antonio and need a highly-qualified, professional, friendly orthodontist, look no further than Dr. Perryman!

His advice to patients who are looking for an orthodontist is to make sure you feel comfortable with the office staff and the doctor. Things should feel good as soon as you walk in the door.
