As a Pediatric Dental Specialist, Dr. Louis has extensive training and expertise in the management of the growth and development, orthodontic and airway management, myofunctional treatment for children and adolescents, as well comprehensive preventative and restorative care.

For over 43 years Dr. Louis has been committed to providing compassionate and progressive care to children in the Berkshires and the outlying areas of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont. Dr. Louis actively keeps abreast of the latest techniques and research in Pediatric Dentistry and was the Committee Chairman of continuing education for the Berkshire County Dental Association for over 10 years. He is a staff member of Berkshire Health Systems where he is an Instructor in the Advanced General Dentistry Residency program as well as a provider of dental surgical services at the Crane Center at BMC. Dr. Louis is an active member of the American Dental Association, American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, Massachusetts State Dental Society and the Berkshire District Dental Society. He is active in the community in the promotion of children’s oral health and also lectures locally and regionally on “Behavior Management for Children in the Dental Setting.”

Dr. Louis and his wife Mary Ann raised a daughter (Dr. Lauren (Yarmosky) Ballinger) and three sons together and are now the proud grandparents of 5 grand-daughters and 3 grandsons.

Photography has been a hobby and passion ever since Dr. Louis brought his Kodak Brownie camera to summer camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western Maryland. Visitors to both offices can see some of his work on display. Dr. Louis has a website of his photography that can be accessed at www.louisyarmoskyphotography.com
