J. LANE, D. D. S.
Fred J. Lane, D.D.S., whose office is at No. 131 Post street, San Francisco, has been a resident of California since 1872, and has been engaged in the practice of dentistry since 1885. He was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, in 1866, and is of English and Scotch descent. His education was received in the public schools of Oakland, California, where his parents removed in 1876, graduating from the high school of that city in 1884. Later he took a special course of study in chemistry at the University of California. At the age of fourteen years, and while still attending school, Dr. Lane commenced the study of dentistry in the office of his father, Dr. C. S. Lane, of Oakland. He entered the College of Dentistry of the University of California in 1886, remaining one year; next he went East and attended the Philadelphia Dental College, where he graduated in February, 1888, receiving his degree as Doctor of Dental Surgery. As soon as he received his degree, from his standing in his class, he received the position of Demonstrator of Operative Surgery, which he held for one term, being then recalled to Oakland by the illness of his father. On his return he entered into practice with his father, continuing with him more than one year. In March, 1890, he removed to San Francisco, where he has since been associated with Dr. Goddard at his present office.
Dr. Lane is one of the clinical instructors of the Dental College of the University
of California. He is a member of the State Dental Association of
California, and also a charter member of the Pacific Coast Association of
Dental Surgeons.
