Dr. Carl E. Schow Jr, MD

Along the stretch of University Boulevard, where medical offices cluster near UTMB’s sprawling campus, Dr. Carl E. Schow Jr, MD maintains a dental practice catering to both routine checkups and more involved procedures. Dentistry in Galveston often serves a mix of long-term island residents and transient patients tied to the university or port industries—so practices here tend to handle everything from basic cleanings to restorative work without frills. This one fits that pattern, offering fillings, extractions, and crowns alongside the usual preventive care. The location, tucked into a professional plaza, puts it within easy reach of downtown but far enough from the Strand’s tourist traffic to stay focused on clinical work.

The office sits at Parking lot, 300 University Blvd, Galveston, TX 77550, a spot that’s convenient for those coming from the medical district or the nearby neighborhoods like San Jacinto. Appointments can be arranged by calling (409) 772-2222—no online booking gimmicks, just a direct line for scheduling. For first-time visitors, the map confirms what locals already know: this part of the island moves at its own pace, where even a dental visit feels less like a chore and more like another errand in a town where everything’s a five-minute drive.
