Why He Was Nominated

Philosophy

“I like to tell my patients that ‘dentistry is not expensive, but neglect is.’ 

Biggest Challenge

“The emotional and physical separation I had to go through leaving a comfortable life in my home country and migrating to the United States alone. But these sacrifices always kept my eye on the target and made me settle for nothing less than the best in my career.”

Something People Don't Know

“I love to cook. If I’m not wearing my white coat and holding a handpiece, chances are
I’m wearing an apron and holding my Mac MTH chef’s knife.”
