VISTA, Calif., July 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As with many students across the nation, graduation day came for Vista cosmetic dentist John Coleman III, DDS, who became a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) this year. The convocation ceremony was held in New Orleans at the Hyatt Regency on June 9th.
