Q.
At what age did you decide to pursue a medical career and why?
A.

In high school I found medicine challenging and wanted to help people. My strong interest in patient care and medicine, along with family influence inspired me to go to medical school. In medical school I quickly found an appreciation for oral surgery and that convinced me to pursue becoming both a dentist and physician.

Q.
What’s the best part about being a physician?
