Dr. Paulussen graduated UMDNJ in 1985 and worked in dental offices in Vernon and Ledgewood, NJ. In 1988 he opened this office with the help of his wife Janice, and mother, Marjorie, a registered nurse who helped answer the phone and assist patients. Gradually, the practice continued to grow and attract the wonderful staff members that we have today.

He attained his Mastership Status by first obtaining his fellowship degree, and then over 1,100 hours of continuing education in the 16 disciplines of dentistry.
