Learn Who We Are

  • Dr.
    Jocelyn Shin
    DDS

    I am a hometown girl from Cockeysville, MD. I received my dental degree at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 2010 and shortly thereafter moved down to Atlanta where my husband was working. After spending eight years as an associate dentist at a private practice, I moved back to Cockeysville to be closer to family and friends with my husband and three girls. I am thrilled to work with Dr. Ottenritter and our team to provide excellent clinical dentistry with unmatched patient care. What I love most about working here is the family like atmosphere we have with our team and patients. When I’m home, I love to cook and hang out with my daughters. I love rooting for our Baltimore Orioles and Ravens!

    Vernon F. Ottenritter
    DDS
    (a.k.a. Dr. O.)

    I am a second generation dentist, who has been in practice for 38 years. My philosophy, is to provide personalized, yet pragmatic dental treatment. It never 'feels' like work, because of my enjoyment in treating an array of patients. I strive to make everyday entertaining for myself, staff, and patients. I reside in northern Baltimore County for the past 28 years. Married for 39 years, my wife and I have 'raised' 3 independent and successful children, along with 4 yellow Labrador retrievers over that length of time. Outside the practice, I enjoy multiple outdoor activities--hiking, biking, fishing, even mowing the lawn. Nothing better than reveling in what nature provides.

She is great with kids, even my daughter with Autism who never usually allows anybody to look into her mouth for more than a minute was able to sit through a cleaning session with Dr. Shin! Dr. Shin made my daughters feel at ease and comfortable, they loved the experience and wanted to go back more times! She takes her time to answer all questions even silly kids questions! Dr. Shin and her team were willing to accommodate and work with our schedules as well. I highly recommend this dentistry practice for all members of the family."
