I’ve loved helping patients. I was always creative with different things that I did. I love the natural sciences. I love helping a person have a more beautiful smile and there’s so many different ways we can do that now to help people. The most rewarding that I get is when I have a patient that is thrilled with their new smile, and also I have patients that have not been to the dentist for a while where we were able to bring them in slowly and gain their trust. We can help them to a better status of health and that’s very rewarding to me because many of them, that fear has stopped them but nowadays we have so many different new technologies that can make dentistry comfortable. We have lasers where we don’t even need anesthetic. If we do, we have computerized anesthetic devices. I love incorporating some of the high-tech things to really make things more comfortable for patients, easier for them and really the personal relationships that I have with each and every patient. It’s not a number at our office. It’s really each person is individual and each person requires a different way that we treat them so they feel comfortable during the treatment. And it’s not just me. I couldn’t do it without my awesome team. My team is wonderful, each one of them. We genuinely care about our patients. People grow and kids that I’ve seen that have been young and all of a sudden they’re getting married and they’re graduating from college and they’ve done amazing things, and it’s rewarding when they’ve had good experiences when they were young and continue to see our office and I love that.
