I am in the best profession I could ever imagine. Being able to change the lives of so many people by changing their smiles never ceases to amaze me. I love orthodontics because of the skills it requires and the challenges I face every day, but most importantly because of all the people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. It is so satisfying to watch a patient’s outlook on life change as their teeth straighten and their self-esteem grows.
When it comes to the practical aspect of being an orthodontist, I would be lost without my team. Our staff members are extremely intelligent and perform their duties with excellent precision. They are personable and love getting to know all about our patients. They all get along with one another and I enjoy coming to the office just to be with them, many of whom have been with me many years. They are quite simply the best.
