He is also a FAGD Dentist.  (FAGD - Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry) - General dentists do not specialize in any one facet of dentistry. According to the AGD, an FAGD "has been recognized by other dentists as a leader who is committed to quality patient care through continuing dental education." An FAGD dentist must earn a minimum of 500 approved continuing dental education credits and pass a comprehensive 400-question examination; and  must also be an Academy of General Dentistry member for five continuous years.

Dr. Amo is an avid USC fan! In his spare time he enjoys spending time with his wife Angela and two daughters. When he's not watching one of his girls sporting events or theatre performances he enjoys going to the movies and eating at local restaurants.
