About This Provider
Dr. Joel Hearn is an endodontist who specializes in root canal treatment and has been helping patients in Florence, AL for 19 years. He graduated from UAB School of Dentistry in 1972 and completed his endodontics training at UAB from 1978 to 1980. Dr. Hearn is passionate about his work and believes endodontics is a wonderful career because patients come in with a problem and leave with it solved. Beyond his dental practice, he's made a real impact on his field—he even wrote the UAB fight song back in 1978, which is still being sung today! Dr. Hearn is currently accepting new patients and continues to give back to the dental community through fundraising efforts.
