In this cross-promotion episode of Jaw Talk, I was interviewed by Joanna Scott with the Story Project podcast about my journey into dentistry, which is deeply influenced by a rich family heritage in the field. Despite this background, I initially pursued a career in physical therapy.

I utilize the latest advancements in digital dentistry and imaging technology to identify issues like TMJ early on, with the goal of transforming children's lives through awareness and proactive intervention.I am passionate about treating each patient like family and guiding them toward optimal health resources.
