Volunteer of the Quarter: Dr. Adrian Bernal

Dr. Bernal“The rewarding part of dentistry is when people appreciate the work you do.” Dr. Adrian Bernal, East Austin Dental.

Originally from San Antonio, Dr. Adrian Bernal and his team at East Austin Dental are staying busy in their new bustling downtown practice.  But not too busy to give back to the community that they now call home.

An avid music lover (who has played many instruments himself including piano, guitar and drums), Dr. Bernal is a dedicated HAAM dental provider who has treated upwards of 25 HAAM members in the past few years.  He recently donated more than $4,000 in charitable care to three HAAM patients with the St. David’s Foundation/HAAM program paying for the rest.  “These patients needed a lot of complex work and it was great to be able to complete their care.”

“I really appreciate the heartfelt things that musicians are doing for Austin.   They are beautifying the city through music.  We want to help out however we can. One way we do that is by being a CADF provider for the HAAM program.”

Dr. Bernal graduated from dental school in 2012 and became active in the Capital Area Dental Society New Dentists Committee where he learned about the Capital Area Dental Foundation.  “Many thanks to CADF and HAAM for all they do for our musicians. Austin would not be as cool without them,” he said.
