What do you like to do outside of work?
I enjoy working out in the gym, hiking, traveling, and watching a good movie with my family.
What do you like most about your job?
The personal interaction with the patients is unique, and for me, my passion is not only about delivering successful treatment; it is about understanding what the patients want and delivering it. Seeing the smile of the patient at the end of treatment is not only about perfect alignment but also about the satisfaction that the patient feels at the end of their journey with their therapist, and that is what I look for.
What is the best advice you can give to your patients?
Always be you! Our human bodies are the biggest blessing we have. Always take care of every aspect of your body, including your teeth.
How do you see the future of dentistry?
The future of dentistry is in the hands of artificial intelligence and digital work. Customized orthodontics for every patient will be the least we can offer in the near future.
