DENTIST

I was raised in Georgetown, Texas in the 1980s, a time that shaped my small-town values and appreciation for genuine community. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Texas A&M University—once an Aggie, always an Aggie—but went on to receive my dental degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, where I was actively involved in cosmetic dentistry research.

In private practice, I’ve dedicated my career to restorative and cosmetic dentistry, combining precision with an eye for aesthetics to help patients feel confident about their smiles. Today, my wife and I call Flower Mound home, where we love living life and raising our twins.

Pamela Medici, DDS

While I am a native Texan, I have enjoyed opportunities that have taken me all over this great country. I was born and raised in Lytle, TX, about 30 minutes south of San Antonio. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from St. Mary’s University, I was accepted into the University of Texas at San Antonio Health Science Center Dental School. Upon receiving my D.D.S. in 1994, I made the decision to join the United States Air Force as a Dental Officer with the rank of Captain. During my six-year career in the Air Force, I completed an Advanced Education General Dentistry Residency and completed assignments at McGuire AFB, NJ, Bolling AFB, DC and The Pentagon. It was there in the Pentagon where I met my husband Jeff, who was stationed there as an Air Force Intelligence Officer. In 1999, we got married, separated from the Air Force and moved to Andover, Massachusetts (near Jeff’s home town). Initially, I worked as an Associate in a longstanding dental practice not far from Phillips Academy (George Bush’s prep school), however, after 5 years I made the decision to open my own practice – The Art of Dentistry. In 2007, after Jeff received a great job opportunity in Dallas we – along with our two beautiful daughters, Allyson and Anna – made the difficult decision to sell the practice and move back to where it all started – TEXAS!

My family and I live in Southlake, TX where I enjoy staying active – running, playing with my family and traveling all over the world. I am excited to be a part of the Cross Timbers Dental team and look forward to leveraging my skills and expertise to provide a world-class experience for each and every patient.

Barry Buschel, DDS

I was born and raised in Minnesota, but moved to Texas in 1977. I attended the University of North Texas where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology, and shortly after, graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1992. I followed my passion, and have been practicing general dentistry since that time. I recently refurbished a home in the historical district of downtown Grapevine, where I live with my wife of 13 years, Lori, and our two very spoiled dogs, Stitch and Frank. In our spare time, we love staying active with travel, collecting wine, and outdoor activities with family and friends. We are big supporters of local children’s charities including Make a Wish, and Children’s Cancer Fund of Dallas, where my wife serves on the Board of Directors. I am happy to have joined such a great family here at Cross Timbers Dental, and enjoy the relationships I’ve built with my patients.
