Born and raised in Harrisville, New Hampshire, Dr. Jay Raynor is truly at home with Spoonwood Dental Partners and in the Monadnock Region. He attended Keene High School, then went on to the University of New Hampshire for a BS in Plant Biology. After that, he entered Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where he met his future wife and fellow dentist Dr. Steph Raynor. He eventually returned home to New Hampshire to practice dentistry and help establish Spoonwood. He says, “In my practice, I am guided by the idea that I should treat each patient as I would like to be treated. This simple philosophy extends to Spoonwood, and our relationship with the dental practices that comprise our organization. People do their best work when they are supported, listened to, and treated with respect.” Dr. Raynor’s dedication to dentistry includes both clinical practice, and professional service as former President of the Monadnock Dental Society and a Member of the Committee of Peer Mediation. In his spare time, Dr. Raynor enjoys reading, fishing, mountain biking, and spending time with his family.
