However vast his accomplishments, Dr. Crosby will tell you that his greatest achievements have come from his community involvement, volunteering countless hours through his local Rotary Club, and founding the Network Dental Clinic in 2009 to serve uninsured children in the Richardson Independent School District.
The facet of Dr. Crosby's practice that brings him the most joy is the life-long relationships he is able to establish with his patients. "It is the opportunity to know them, to watch their children grow up, to celebrate marriages and births, to share the excitement of a new home or a job promotion, to see photographs of new children and grandchildren, to praise good report cards and athletic accomplishments that make this job worthwhile and most meaningful to me, " said Dr. Crosby.
When he’s not working in the dental office, teaching, or volunteering, Dr. Crosby takes on the role of an avid sports photographer. He takes photos for many of the local high school sports teams, college soccer teams, NFL Green Bay Packers, and has won numerous photography awards for the work that has been published in several sports publications. He also enjoys golf, tennis, yoga, cycling, and skiing—not to mention time with his beautiful wife, 3 children, and 3 grandchildren.
The ManBehind It All
Dr. Field Harrison is passionate about taking people out of pain. It could be dental pain, it could be spiritual pain, or mental pain, or loss of dignity pain, or financial pain. Even before he graduated from dental school, he was traveling to Romania with other doctors and dentists to end a village's suffering with tooth and jaw pain.
He spent many dental school weekends assisting other dentists in a free south Dallas clinic. He founded MINT dentistry with the conviction that outstanding dental care should be affordable to everyone.
He's a devout Christian who welcomes doctors of all faiths to MINT. He provides free dental care to soldiers who've suffered grievous tooth and jaw injuries in combat. He and his wife Sabrina privately assist employees in dire financial need. He's an in-demand speaker on entrepreneurship, leadership and faith. Many organizations are the beneficiary of the Harrisons' generosity.
