AUSTIN — Anthony L. Jaramillo, DDS, of Boerne has been nominated by the San Antonio Academy of General Dentistry ( San Antonio AGD) for the Texas Academy of General Dentistry’s “Texas New Dentist of the Year” award.
This award is considered the most prestigious honor a new Texas dentist can earn. Jaramillo is one of only nine dentists nominated for this year’s award.
He and the other nominees will be honored at the Texas Academy Awards Sept. 20. Each nominee will be recognized and will receive an engraved plaque. The Texas Academy Awards will conclude with the announcement of the 2024 Texas New Dentist of the Year.
“Earning a nomination for the New Dentist of the Year award is a prestigious honor,” said Dr. Alex Gonzalez, Texas AGD president. “It singles out a remarkable group of young dentists whose talent, dedication, and innovative spirit promise a bright future for our profession. Congratulations to each of them.”
