Dr. Richard Foreman hails from Bellmore, Long Island, where he grew up with his parents and three siblings. These early years were filled with a broad variety of experiences—from ocean fishing to excursions to Manhattan theaters and museums. He completed his undergraduate studies at University of Albany where he received his B.S. in Chemistry. Ultimately, his interest in science and the arts lead him to pursue a career in dentistry. Dr. Foreman studied dentistry at University of Pennsylvania where he earned his Doctorate in Dental Medicine (DMD) in 1982.
While traveling to a bicycle tour of north eastern Vermont in 1984, Dr. Foreman passed through the scenic lakeside town of Rouses Point, New York. Little did he know that he would ultimately make this region his choice for a home and dental practice. While looking to purchase a dental practice the following year, it did not take him long to realize that the practice for sale In Northern New York was nowhere near the Albany area, despite it’s 518 area code! But, once he ventured north through the beautiful Adirondacks and surrounding regions, he discovered the true location of the prospective practice...he realized he’d come full circle to that scenic lakeside town he’d admired on the way to his bicycle tour!
