As an Ogden, Utah native, Dr. V. Patrick Hall found his greatest joy as a member of the competitive soccer team Ogden United. Dr. Hall’s coaches, teammates, and their families helped shape his future by instilling in him the values of grit, respect, and leadership. During high school, Dr. Hall developed a passion for automotive mechanics while rebuilding a ’64 Chevy pickup truck with his older brother. Following high school graduation, he managed multiple Jiffy Lube locations and then became an oral surgery surgical assistant along his way to graduating from Weber State University with high honors. Dr. Hall attended the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where he graduated summa cum laude with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and a perfect 4.0 GPA. During his tenure, he served on class councils, tutored fellow students, and published multiple research projects alongside faculty mentors. He presented his research at both local and national levels, earning several awards and grants. He also worked extensively within the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department, where his desire to become a surgeon truly took root. He subsequently matched into his top-ranked program at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), where he completed four years of specialized training and served as Chief Resident during his final year. During his residency, Dr. Hall continued to conduct research that reached national publications. His time at VCU served as a “refiner’s fire,” sharpening and honing his surgical abilities. VCU’s rigorous, hospital-based program allowed him to train under world-renowned surgeons, who taught him the art and science of surgery as well as many life long professional and personal lessons. Residency solidified his lifelong passion for the field. Extensive opportunities to serve communities both locally and internationally throughout his training and development also instilled within Dr. Hall a deep desire to care for others. Through this service, he has developed a profound compassion for all people, striving to “see the person beyond the disease” as he desires to heal both soul and body. He operates on the foundational belief that serving others—both his own family and his “brothers and sisters” in the community—is the most fulfilling work he will ever do. As a surgeon, Dr. Hall’s goal is to treat every patient like a member of his own family—with openness, dignity, respect and the highest standard of care. He believes patients should be active, educated participants in their healthcare journeys to ensure their goals and outcomes are met. Dr. Hall’s clinical interests include full-mouth rehabilitation with dental implants and bone grafting, orthognathic (jaw) surgery, and the treatment of benign pathologic diseases. His expertise also extends to wisdom tooth removal and cosmetic facial surgery, including rhytidectomy (facelifts), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facial implants, brow lifts, neuromodulators, and dermal fillers. The final 14 years of Dr. Hall’s 26-year educational journey were made infinitely sweeter by his roles as a husband to his high school sweetheart Melissa and a father to their four beautiful children. Together, the Hall family enjoys sports and exploring nature, whether snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, biking, or camping. If you see Dr. Hall cheering intensely for a local sports team—especially his children—know that his passion stems from a place of love and childhood nostalgia. He deeply admires his wife and children and strives to emulate the quality of people they are. Dr. Hall’s understanding of the greatness of humanity is founded upon his firm testimony in his Savior, Jesus Christ, and his Heavenly Father.
