Sage Advice

“If you want to own your own practice, stay away from the big cities. The Manhattan/Beverly Hills dentist is not always the most profitable, as some might think.”

Philosophy

“I try to make dentistry fun with actual jokes. If I can get the patients to laugh hard, I know I’ve won them
over. Plus, I try very hard to be painless.”

Something People Don’t Know

“I dance ballet for fun. It’s something I’ve done since I was 9 and has always been a stress reliever, even throughout dental school. The focus makes me forget all my worries.”
