Dr. Bob Barrows
Dr. Bob Barrows is a graduate of both Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). After graduating from MUSC in 2003, he served in the US Navy as a dentist. During his time in the Navy, he was stationed at the Goose Creek Weapons Station and overseas in Guam.
When not performing dentistry at the Navy base, on his days off he would assist in the treatment of underprivileged children in rural areas of South Carolina that had limited access to dental care.
Upon completion of his naval service, Dr. Barrows entered private practice in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2008. While it was a difficult decision to leave his North Carolina patients of 10 years, Dr. Barrows returned home to Charleston in 2018 to be able to raise his family on James Island, where his parents and extended family also live.
After the move, he took the opportunity to take a short break from dentistry to restore his family home, doing much of the work himself. Dr. Barrows became a partner at Charleston Family Dentistry in 2020.
He is very happy with his decision to come back home to Charleston and to join the established and trusted Charleston Family Dentistry team.
Dr. Tanner Trent
After graduating, Dr. Trent practiced in Knoxville, TN before relocating to Charleston when his wife was accepted to graduate school at MUSC. Growing up in a small East Tennessee town, Dr. Trent learned the importance of giving back to the community. This commitment to service inspired him to pursue a career in dentistry.
When not in the office, Dr. Trent loves to golf, watch movies, cook, and be outside. He also loves to travel and is always cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers. "I am truly excited to be part of the Charleston Family Dentistry team," says Dr. Trent. "The people here are exceptional, and I look forward to meeting new patients while continuing to serve the Charleston community."
