About Our Team
What makes a great pediatric dental office? The staff of course, and Dr. Barney has some of the best supporting around.
Dr. Barney
Pediatric Dentist / Orthodontist
I was born in Logan, Utah and grew up in North Logan when it was a farming community. I worked in the farms and went to North Cache Junior High before moving to Willard where I worked in the fruit orchards. I graduated from Box Elder High School where I was active in music and track. I graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio dental school and finished a residency in Pediatric Dentistry at the same school. I served in US Navy for 3 years as a pediatric dentist at the Naval Air Station in Rota, Spain. After the Navy I completed a residency in Orthodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston earning a certificate and Master’s degree. I have been in private practice since 1994 here in the Salt Lake Valley. I am married to Chris Adams and have four children, Megan, Adam, Chelsea, and Timothy.
Dr. Drew
Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Drew Horton is a board-certified pediatric dentist and Utah native who brings warmth, energy, and genuine care to every child who comes through his door. A proud dad of three daughters, he understands kids—and parents—firsthand.
Before dentistry, Dr. Drew and his wife lived in Florence, Italy, where he completed graduate-level work through Middlebury College and the University of Florence, studying the Italian healthcare system. After returning to the U.S., they moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he earned a Master in Healthcare Administration from the University of Michigan. He spent the next 10 years in hospital leadership roles at Mayo Clinic, UCLA Health, and Primary Children’s Hospital. While at Primary Children’s, he discovered his passion for children’s oral health and began an eight-year journey to become a pediatric dentist.
Dr. Drew earned his DDS from the University of Utah and completed his pediatric residency at Primary Children’s Hospital, serving as Chief Resident. He is a recipient of the Pierre Fauchard Academy Award, a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon, and belongs to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association.
When he’s not in the office, you’ll find Dr. Drew outside—always. Whether it’s the beach or the mountains, if there’s sunshine involved, he’s happy. Dr. Drew loves adventuring with his family – they love hiking, biking, surfing, skiing and winding down together with an episode of Bluey before bedtime. His kids have officially voted him “Best Storyteller,” and he’s always up for a backyard zipline ride. He’s also a big fan of all things Italian—from food to culture.
Dr. Drew is excited to care for your family and serve the community he calls home.
