As a graduate of Baylor University in 1982, Dr. Bauer received a B.S. in Science. While at Baylor he ran track for Clyde Hart as a 400 hurdler. His dad worked at General Tire here in Waco, so this has always been “home”. After graduation from Baylor, he proceeded to dental school in Dallas at Baylor College of Dentistry. In 1986, upon graduation from dental school, he returned to Waco to set up an independent, free standing office in a newly developing area. The ‘neighborhood’ continues to thrive today and Dr. Bauer has been very active in the development and growth of the area. Dr. Bauer is an active member of St. Jerome Catholic Church. An Eagle Scout from high school, he remains a member with Troop 308. He has served as past president of the Central Texas Dental Society and a graduate of higher dental education with Bioesthetic International Dentistry.
