Robert L. Frazer

Dr. Robert L. Frazer, Jr. is a graduate of the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston. For 28 years, he led a highly successful insurance independent, values-driven dental practice, emphasizing major reconstructive care until giving up full time practice to pursue his passion for speaking and consulting. Bob has been a leader in dentistry since his early years having served as an officer and president of a number of professional groups. He was part of the second teaching delegation of dentists to China in 1982. He then led a second delegation to both China and Tibet in 1984. He received the University of Texas Dental Branch Master Practitioner Award in 1999. He is also a Fellow of both The American College and International College of Dentists.

Since the 1970's, Dr. Frazer has been speaking to, conducting workshops for and personally consulting dentists from across North America and Europe on the very concepts that he was incorporating into his private practice. These include peer group health learning, collaborative diagnosis, treatment planning and case presentation, computerization of the dental office (computers at the chair in 1982), and Applied Strategic Planning. With increasing demand for his services and an accompanying passion for this work, he decided to take to this new vocation full time. In 1991, Bob founded R.L. Frazer & Associates, Inc. as a strategic leadership and consulting firm for principle-centered, values-driven dentists/leaders and their teams who aim to achieve uncommon service, success and fulfillment. As a result of the new demands of this business, he sold the last half of his dental practice in 1998 and limits himself to a few major rehabilitative cases a year.

Bob has been married to his wife Linda for 37 years. Linda is finished law school at age 56 and is currently practicing in Austin. They have two sons, Lee, 33 and Danny, 30. Lee is the former Director of the Montana School of the Voyageur Outward Bound and currently Director of GUTS Tutorial and PhD Student at the U of Wisconsin Madison, while Danny a former Outward Bound instructor, is Field Director Aspen Achievement Academy, a wilderness-based treatment center for youth in Utah.

Bob enjoys getting outdoors to fly fish, play golf, ski, or just take in nature. When he gets the chance, he travels to visit his sons or explores a foreign country with his wife.He and his wife reside in Austin, Texas, their home of 33 years.
