I knew I always wanted to do something in the medical field, and then had the opportunity to shadow a family friend that was a dentist and just knew that this was it. I like it. I like that we can decide our hours, that we can help people. Always helping people find their smile again is amazing and just feels great. I love when a patient comes in feeling like they don’t have a whole lot of self-confidence and then fixing them up and it’s so much easier for them to smile. It’s great to see them and change their whole attitude and confidence.
