Dr. James M. Sweeney
Dr. Sweeney is a Northwest native who loves the outdoor activities Whatcom County offers. He is a 3rd generation health care professional who's grandfather was a longtime surgeon and who's father retired after over 40 years as a pediatric dentist.
He earned two undergraduate degrees in Biology and Psychology concurrently and then took 6 months off to work at an isolated missionary hospital in the Peruvian Amazon. Upon returning, he studied at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 1997. Chicago is home to the American Dental Association which is adjacent to Northwestern's medical complex.
