Q. How have you mentored or inspired others who are following in your footsteps?
A. I always remind people that it's never too late to reinvent themselves and pursue new paths. My journey to dentistry is a testament to this philosophy. I spent a decade as an engineering project manager, but a project involving dentists and advanced technology ignited my interest in dentistry, and I've never looked back.
I have been practicing for over 15 years now, and while I knew I would enjoy dentistry, I didn't anticipate how much I would love it. It truly is the perfect blend of art, science, and engineering. My engineering background gives me a unique edge in digital dentistry, allowing me to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technology into my practice. This expertise enables me to excel in everything from general care and complex treatment planning to surgical, implant and endodontic procedures.
Q. What do you look forward to when you go to work every day?
A. I look forward to meeting amazing people and getting to know them, their lives, and their families. Hearing their stories and helping them achieve optimal oral health is incredibly fulfilling. I find great satisfaction in using my knowledge to make a difference, knowing that a confident smile is invaluable. Changing people's perceptions of dental care, helping patients overcome their fears, and seeing the positive impact on their lives is deeply rewarding.
Q. What's the best advice you've received, and how has it helped you?
A. Enjoy the journey. I've always kept my goals in sight but have cherished the process of reaching them.
