Why dentistry?

I’m a dentist because it has always been my desire to help people in a healthcare environment. Growing up in my dad’s and uncle’s dental office, I learned early on that dentistry was going to be my path. I love the relationships we build with our patients and our ability to help them live healthier, better lives.

Why dentistry?

I chose dentistry because I wanted to follow in my parents’ footsteps. Growing up in their office, I came to see how dentistry blends art and science in such a beautiful way, and how it can make a huge impact on people’s health and wellbeing. I wanted to carry on their legacy and impact my community in a positive and meaningful way.

Why dentistry?

Dentistry has always been dear to me, as I was exposed to it at a very young age watching my grandfather treat patients in rural Oklahoma. Dentistry offers the unique opportunity to build lifelong relationships, while also providing a service that improves people’s quality of life. I love the art of dentistry, and even more, I love making people smile!

Why dentistry?

My passion for dentistry started with a life-changing mission trip to Panama. Since then, I’ve volunteered in many countries, deepening my skills and love for the field. With roots in Central and South America, I’m excited to serve our community as a bilingual speaker. I focus on empathy and understanding, making sure language is never a barrier to quality care. My goal is to create a welcoming and relaxing environment where my patients feel heard, respected, and cared for.
