Meet
Taite R. Anderson, DDS

I wear many hats in life—each one shaped by passion, purpose, and a relentless curiosity to grow and create. Here’s a glimpse into the journey that defines me:

Husband

The greatest privilege of my life is walking hand in hand with my best friend—my wife. She is my anchor, my inspiration, and the most incredible human I know. If you ever meet her, you’ll understand why I think she’s the best.

Father

Watching my kids grow, explore, and shape the world around them is my greatest joy. They inspire me daily, and my pride in them surpasses anything I have ever achieved.

Surgeon

Surgery, to me, is an art—sculpting tissue with precision, setting the stage for healing beyond the operating room. But my true calling is connecting with patients in their most vulnerable moments, easing their anxieties, and guiding them toward recovery. I take immense pride in how my team and I combine surgical excellence with compassionate care.

Leader

True leadership is about creating a culture where people thrive. Together, my team and I foster an environment built on humility, collaboration, and trust—where each voice matters and where we achieve more together than any of us could alone.

Author

I have always been a student of life, driven to learn, explore, and share knowledge. Writing allows me to teach, inspire, and empower others—whether through my textbook, The Art of Oral Surgery, or through the ideas I exchange with colleagues around the world.

Artist

Art has always been a part of me, but during the pandemic, it became a true creative outlet. Writing and painting unlocked a new way for me to communicate complex surgical concepts with clarity and emotion. It came together in my textbook, The Art of Oral Surgery. Art, in all its forms, is both my play and my purpose.

Innovator

My curiosity never rests. I love connecting ideas, solving problems, and creating better ways to do things—whether in surgery, leadership, or life. The pursuit of improvement fuels me every day.
