Our Dentists

Dr. Azam Qadri was born in Meridan, Connecticut, and spent his early years moving across the country before ultimately returning to Youngstown to finish high school. From a young age, he was driven by a deep curiosity about how things worked — whether it was engines, architecture, or the intricacies of the human body — a trait that naturally led him into the field of dentistry.

He went on to attend Kenyon College, where he was a competitive swimmer and earned his undergraduate degree in Biology. He then pursued his dental education at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, where he not only honed his clinical skills but also met his wife and future business partner, Dr. Betty Qadri.

Shortly after graduating, Dr. Azam and Dr. Betty opened their first dental practice in 1992. A year later, they moved their growing clinic to its permanent home in downtown Hudson, Ohio, where they also raised their young family above the office for the first few years. Since then, they have built Village Dental into a trusted name in family dentistry, expanding their reach to underserved communities by acquiring a second location in Orrville, Ohio — a decision fueled by their desire to bring quality care to areas in need of dedicated dental professionals.

While Dr. Betty pursued excellence in cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Azam focused his passion on the surgical side of patient care. Over the years, he has taken numerous advanced courses in Chicago and Detroit to expand his clinical expertise, earning certifications in implant placement, gum and bone grafting, root canal therapy, and complex extractions. His deep knowledge and precise technique make him a go-to provider for comprehensive dental surgeries, all performed in-office with patient comfort and safety top of mind.

He is also certified in facial Botox therapy and continues to seek out ways to elevate his care offerings. Dr. Azam is known for his calm demeanor, surgical precision, and a true craftsman’s approach to dentistry — always striving for outcomes that are both functionally sound and aesthetically natural.

Outside the office, Dr. Azam has been a proud and active member of the Hudson community. He previously served as President of the Hudson Chamber of Commerce and remains involved in local initiatives. His love of baseball led him to found the Hudson Drillers, a travel baseball organization for youth ages 7–15, which he ran while his own children were growing up.

When he's not caring for patients or cheering on the Cleveland Guardians, you can usually find Dr. Azam outside — meticulously working in his vegetable garden, tending to his landscape, or enjoying quiet time with his wife and family. Whether he's nurturing his tomato plants or coaching a little league game, Dr. Azam brings the same dedication and steady hands to every aspect of his life.
