Not only did I love working in the healthcare field, I loved being able to see a patient’s demeanor change when they went through both restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. I love educating patients, because it is imperative to help improve and maintain their oral health; also, that education helps with understanding the connection of oral health and overall health. I focus on creating achievable goals with my patients and I really enjoy being able to meet new people, have fun conversations, and listen to their personal stories.
