Dr. Derrick L. Thompson, DDS
Learn more about Dr. Thompson, a cosmetic, restorative, and family dentist who practices in Beverly Grove, Los Angeles. He has more than 25 years of experience in the field.
He was born in the small Louisiana town of Bogalusa. When he was two, his family moved to California so that he and his sister could get the best possible education.
Ironically, he eventually returned to the South to complete his education. He finished his first two years of undergrad at the University of California, Berkeley, but decided it was best to transfer to Grambling State University in Grambling, Louisiana. There, he majored in biology and decided to pursue this career path.
After college, he attended Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry in Nashville, Tennessee. Upon earning his degree at the age of 26, he joined the United States Navy Dental Corps, where he expanded his knowledge, developed leadership skills, and learned how to help patients feel comfortable and relaxed even in the most challenging conditions.
He is proud to provide top-quality care to patients of all ages throughout Los Angeles. For the finest in service, call or use the online booking tool.
