Michael R Hauer, DDS

“ When I started this practice back in 1974, I just returned to Tucson from dental school at University of Washington in Seattle.  I worked for a while for another dentist while building my own dental office.  I chose the location because it was affordable and because there were no other dental offices on the southeast outskirts of Tucson.  I had a supportive family, a 2 year-old son, and a 2 year-old car.  The bank gave me a loan, and the building became the base for the practice as it is today.  A year later, Norman Rubin became my good friend and dental partner.”   “I believe in being honest and straightforward.  I recommend the same treatment to you as a patient as I would recommend to my family or want for myself.”

Tucson has been Dr Hauer’s home from the age of 3 months.  His parents first moved to Marana.  He attended Rincon High and University of Arizona before heading to University of Washington School of Dentistry.  He married Maralyn during his first year of dental school.   Together, they enjoyed Seattle.  His first son Matthew was born in Seattle, and the family returned to Tucson when Matthew was 3 months old.  Second son Jonathan was born in Tucson.   Dr Hauer served as President of the Southern Arizona Dental Society and Arizona State Dental Association.  He has been honored with membership in the International College of Dentists, American College of Dentists and the Academy of Dentists International.  In 2010, he began a term on the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners. Dr Hauer especially enjoys playing with his four grand-daughters.  At left is Eliza, age 2.
