What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I love most about what I do is helping people. I say, changing lives daily. I'm still very actively involved, both in administrative counseling as well as clinical work, and it's really my passion. I don't see any reason to stop. If I had to start again, I would absolutely choose dentistry. My tagline is The Smile Designer, but the smiles don't just go to patients, they go to other small businesses as well and my colleagues in dentistry.
