This page is to introduce our Dentistry team. DR. MATTHEW CHRISTIE is a Dentist at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System. MEDICAL SCHOOL: University of the Pacific I am proud to
provide comprehensive general dentistry services to our Veterans. I am married with three children and we love to get outdoors riding bikes, hiking, and exploring new areas.

Fairleigh Dickinson School of Dentistry RESIDENCY: University of Tennessee Memphis, TN Periodontal therapy including tooth extractions and Dental Implant placement. In my free time I enjoy
boating, fishing, skiing and hanging with my wife. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DR. RYNE JOHNSON is a Prosthodontist and Chief of
Dentistry at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System. MEDICAL SCHOOL: University of Pennsylvania Dental RESIDENCY: Tufts University - Prosthodontics As a prosthodontist, with 39 years of
clinical practice, I am able to provide cutting edge, complex dental care. Using the latest in digital, computer technology, in a world class facility, veterans are assured that they receive
care comparable or better than what is available in the community. Being a 'plugged-in all the time' guy fulfills my obligations as the dental chief. In my free time, I enjoy
cooking, fly fishing, golfing and spending time with friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DR. KATIE HOURIGAN is a Dentist at the
Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System. MEDICAL SCHOOL: Medical University of South Carolina I am a General Dentist. I provide patients with general dental services, including operative
procedures (such as fillings/direct restorations) and fixed services (i.e. crowns, bridges, and implant restorations). I am in a unique position that also allows me to work with the
community to ensure that our Veterans that live further away from our facility can receive the care they need from vendors that work with the VA. I really enjoy going to the beach, hiking,
planning trips, and hanging out with my family including my dog, Willow. I also enjoy exploring Charleston, trying new restaurants and coffee places, and going to craft events.
