Why did you become a healthcare provider?
I became a dentist because I love helping people and wanted a career where I could make a direct impact on their health and confidence.
What attracted you to a community health center for your practice?
I love the idea of serving where I’m needed most, and working in a community health center means I get to help patients who might not otherwise have access to care.
What do you enjoy or find most fulfilling about caring for patients?
here’s nothing more rewarding than taking someone out of pain, restoring their smile, and giving them a reason to feel good about themselves!
Do you have hobbies or a way you like to spend your time away from work?
Outside of work, I’m an avid sand volleyball player. When I’m not on the court, I enjoy spending time with my wife. We love staying active together—whether it’s going on walks, playing pickleball, or swing dancing, we’re always up for something fun!
Do you have a favorite book, movie or TV show?
My wife and I are watching Friends for the first time, and we’re absolutely loving it—it’s the perfect blend of humor and nostalgia. Some of my other favorites are Seinfeld, Parks and Rec, and Suits, with Resident Alien and Stranger Things also making the list!
