Meet Dr. LePendu
DDS
Dr. Adrian LePendu
Dr. Adrian LePendu entered the dental field at the age of 17 as a dental assistant in the Army Reserve. This commenced his love of dentistry, and he continued to the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry on a Navy scholarship program. Upon graduation in 2004, he was elected to the Tau Kappa Omega Honor Society and then served in the Navy for three years. During his Naval career, he completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency and became the solo dentist on the forward-deployed USS Harpers Ferry out of Sasebo, Japan. His favorite part of the Navy was providing the troops with the care they deserved and the opportunity to provide dental care to impoverished areas of the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia.

Outside the Office
From Naval Service to Wilmington's Shores
Dr. LePendu's dental career began at 17 as an Army Reserve dental assistant, a path that carried him through Navy-sponsored dental school and three years of active duty — including a stint as the solo dentist aboard the forward-deployed USS Harpers Ferry.
He and his wife, Christine, and their two sons, Andre and Lucas, spent eight years enjoying Colorado's mountains before setting their sights on coastal living. Wilmington's beaches make it the oceanside home the LePendu family always dreamed of.
