Dr. Newell has been a specialist in Orthodontics for over 25 years. Dr. Newell graduated second in his class from the University of Pittsburgh's School of Dental Medicine. He was also elected into membership of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon dental honor society. Following graduation, he was one of five students accepted into Pitt's specialty program in Orthodontics where he received a master's degree and certificate in Orthodontics. Since then, Dr. Newell has been in private practice in Murrysville, providing orthodontic care for patients from all over the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh. Almost every year, he is selected as one of Pittsburgh’s Top Dentists, an award that he is honored to receive, since it is chosen by dental colleagues. His treatment philosophy is simple; he strives to treat each patient as if they were a family member.

Dr Newell is currently a member of the following organizations:

• American Association of Orthodontists
• Pennsylvania Association of Orthodontists
• Great Lakes Association of Orthodontists
• American Dental Association
• Westmoreland County Dental Society

When Dr. Newell is not caring for patients in the office, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, especially his wife Valerie, and their two springer spaniels. He prefers to be outside as much as possible, and his hobbies include skiing, mountain biking, boating, and fishing. He particularly enjoys fly-fishing and even makes most of his own flies. In past years, Dr. Newell has volunteered much of his time to youth ice hockey, in which both of his now-adult sons were avid participants. He coached for the Allegheny Badgers and Franklin Regional Little Panthers for many years, and he also served on the Franklin Regional Hockey Club board when his sons played in high school. His philosophy outside of the office is also simple; stay busy and never stop learning.
