Meet Dr. John Hyson IV
General Dentist, Succasunna
Family Legacy

When not helping others achieve the smile of their dreams as a dentist in Succasunna, Dr. Hyson enjoys doing charitable work – especially by participating in dental missions to provide much needed care to the underprivileged. Once, while on a dental mission to Kibosho, Tanzania, Dr. Hyson checked an item off his bucket list – to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro! Dr. Hyson’s compassion extends as far as his love for rescue animals and says, “If I had my way, I would take in all animals in need of a home.”
