Dr. Hearne grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. He decided to become a dentist at the age of 12, due to the example of a close family friend and well known dentist. He began his career in the hotel industry at age 14, where he learned the importance of customer service and a high standard of excellence. When Dr. Hearne was 18, he lost his 7 year old little brother, "Little Buddy," to cystic fibrosis. The tender care given to his brother throughout his life by wonderful nurses and doctors inspired Dr. Hearne to become an excellent caregiver for his patients.
During his undergraduate education at Utah State University, Dr. Hearne met his wife, Naomi. After completing his education at USU, Dr. Hearne earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Creighton University School of Dentistry in May 1997.

Dr. Hearne, a Utah general dentist, started Woodland Park Dental in August 1998, and continues to build a very successful practice today. Dr. Hearne is constantly striving to provide a painless experience for his patients with the use of parenteral, oral sedation, and other techniques and technologies which enables him to achieve the best results.
Through his unceasing commitment to learning and professional development, Dr. Hearne received his fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, awarded to only about 6% of general dentists, in July 2005. The fellowship, in conjunction with memberships in the American Dental Association, The Academy of General Dentistry, the American Academy of Painless Dentistry, and the Weber District Dental Society, demonstrates his dedication to education and improvement for his patient's benefit.
Dr. Hearne's commitment to his community goes far beyond the dental chair. He currently serves in the Boy Scouts of America as an adult trainer in the Wood Badge courses (training for adult Cub and Boy Scout Leaders) and is currently serving as a leader for the eleven year old Boy Scouts.
