After graduating from Howard University College of Dentistry with his DDS in 1987, Dr. Holiman worked as a missionary dentist in Hong Kong for five years. He then moved back to the United States and purchased this dental practice in 1992. Dr. Holiman has served Boston and southern New Hampshire area patients with general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry for over 15 years at this same location.
Lifelong learning is part of Dr. Holiman's professional and personal philosophy, so he continues his dental training with annual coursework and seminars. Recently, his training has included CEREC CAD/CAM technology for one-visit crowns, as well as Frank Spear’s classes on occlusion, cosmetic dentistry, and smile design. Dr. Holiman also holds membership in the American Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry.
Dr. Holiman has participated in Donated Dental Services for seven years. Donated Dental Services (DDS) is a federal program that coordinates dental care needs for disabled, elderly or medically-compromised individuals who cannot afford necessary treatment nor get public aid. In 2007, Dr. Holiman took a mission trip to Guatemala where he performed extensive dental procedures on indigent natives. Dr. Holiman is dedicated to providing quality dental care for those in need and sponsoring events in the community that supports his practice.
When he is not creating smiles, Dr. Holiman enjoys photography, motorcycling, and spending time with his wife and their four children. Mrs. Holiman, a nurse, works in the oncology unit at the Youville Hospital in Massachusetts. Dr. and Mrs. Holiman's eldest daughter, Stefanie, lives in Houston and teaches at Rice University. Jereme, their son, is an art major at Temple University in Philadelphia. Their second daughter, Jennifer, attends the nursing program at Loma Linda University in California. The youngest, Shaina, is majoring in biology at La Sierra University in California and is considering a career in dentistry.
