Dr. Jackstien and his wife Jessica then moved to Philadelphia where he attended dental school at Temple University. Dr. Jackstien graduated Summa Cum Laude from Temple along with other awards and accolades.
During his training at Temple, Dr. Jackstien realized that many of his patients where delaying treatment due to fear and other mental and physical issues and could have benefited from other forms of anesthesia. However these services were not available because there were only a few residency trained anesthesia providers in the entire country. Dr. Jackstien and his family then moved to the city of Columbus in order to attend The Ohio State University’s Oral and Maxillofacial Anesthesiology program.
