  riginally from Ohio, Dr. Phillis came to Nashua after completing his dental and orthodontic training at Tufts School of Dental Medicine. His wife, Mary, is a native New Englander growing up in Rhode Island, so settling here in Nashua, was an easy way to stay in touch with her family. Both Hugh and Mary are very active in the community, supporting the schools and symphony. Of course just keeping up with the individual schedules of their six children keeps them quite busy.
Dr. Phillis did his dental and orthodontic training at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and graduated Summa Cum Laude, Valedictorian of his dental class in 1980. He is board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. From 1982, Dr. Phillis has taught at Tufts Dental School in the Orthodontic Department as an Assistant Clinical Professor.
