Dr. Geoffry Hallstead began practicing general dentistry 36 years ago, though his history with the dental field goes back to his childhood. The son of a dentist, Dr. Hallstead grew up witnessing the difference his father made in his patients’ lives each and every day. Seeing dentistry as an opportunity to continue helping people live better lives, Dr. Hallstead chose to follow in his father’s footsteps.
Dr. Hallstead began his formal education at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY. He completed his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry. Returning to Canandaigua in 1988, he assumed the helm of his father’s dental practice, which was established in 1957.
To continue his education, Dr. Hallstead has completed many hours of continuing education at the Kois Center, an organization committed to the advancement of dentistry through science. His advanced knowledge and training allows his patients to receive better treatment and a more enjoyable dental experience.
A native of Canandaigua, Dr. Hallstead has been pleased to grow his practice and raise his family in such a wonderful community. He and his wife, Jane, have two children, Ricky and Serica. Dr. Hallstead enjoys spending his free time with his family and has many interests, including driving a horse and carriage and gardening. He is actively involved with Blue Star Mothers (a veteran outreach program), Lions Club, and Cheshire Community Action Team.
