Video Transcription
I decided to work in dentistry, most of my family is in medicine, and, you know, I was kind of on that beaten track to go to medical school and I decided to switch things up a little bit. And in college, I my roommate was in dental school or pretty dental, and I started hanging out with them a lot and shadowing folks. And I really had a good connection with my orthodontist and I decided to pursue dentistry rather than medicine. The patient experience is very important because pretty much everything in dentistry is it's uncomfortable and a lot of folks are very anxious to get any sort of dental treatment. I really enjoy working with patients, their families and starting treatment, whether it's something very short or something, that's going to take time. And just being a part of their development and helping them reach their goals, what I want my patients and families to feel when they come to our office is that they're going to be able to get the best care and in a comfortable environment.
