Dr. Bradshaw Stout was raised on his family farm in Herminie, a small rural community, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Growing up immersed in nature, he developed a love for the land and outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking. He was also introduced to his future profession at a young age, as his grandfather was a dedicated dentist with a practice located in his home. In high school, Dr. Stout ran track, wrestled, and became captain of the varsity cross-country team.
In 1992, he left home to attend Covenant College on Lookout Mountain, Georgia on a cross-country scholarship. During his time in college, his interest in pursuing dentistry matured. He graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in biology with a chemistry minor.
After working for two years as a house painter, Dr. Stout began his studies at Temple University School of Dentistry in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree and received the Ray Ulnick Humanitarian Award, recognizing his excellence in caring and compassionate patient care. While in Philadelphia, he married his wife, Sarah, and they began their family.
In response to the 9/11 attacks, Dr. Stout joined the U.S. Air Force to support the efforts of the military in the War on Terrorism. His first duty station was Anchorage, Alaska, where he served as a general dentist. While in Alaska, Dr. Stout was accepted into the University of Texas, San Antonio/Wilford Hall Medical Center Residency in Periodontics. Dr. Stout completed the program in three years and received his Master of Science in Biomedical Science from the University of Texas.
Upon completion of his studies, he was assigned to Washington, D.C. where he served both as a clinical periodontist and as an instructor in an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency program. Within a year, he attained his board certification and became a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. During this time, he was deployed to the Middle East where he built and established a dental clinic that is still providing for the dental needs of our deployed service members.
In 2014, Dr. Stout and his family moved to the Florida panhandle where he served at Hurlbert Field Air Force Base near Fort Walton Beach. Dr. Stout and his family settled in Niceville where they quickly grew to love the community and hoped to retire in the area. However, the Air Force had one final assignment for them: a four-year tour in Aviano, Italy, where he served as a periodontist supporting NATO forces.
Throughout his distinguished military career, Dr. Stout received numerous awards and commendations. Ultimately, believing that further promotion would shift him away from clinical practice, he decided to retire from active duty to remain focused on the patient care that he loves.
Now returning to the Emerald Coast, Dr. Stout is excited to lay down permanent roots in the Florida Panhandle. He is currently volunteering at the Cross Roads Medical and Dental Clinic in Valparaiso, Florida. This opportunity fulfills a lifelong goal to use his skills in dentistry to benefit the underserved members of his community. He remains committed to delivering the highest standards of periodontal care to his patients and serving the local community with excellence and integrity.
