00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.439 Becoming a dentist came about because I was interested in sciences, 00:00:05.506 --> 00:00:08.542 I was pretty good at anatomy, biology, those types of things. 00:00:08.609 --> 00:00:11.144 But I also enjoyed working with my hands. 00:00:11.211 --> 00:00:15.415 I just could see myself trying to combine all those qualities. 00:00:15.482 --> 00:00:19.119 I spent some time with a local dentist when I was younger 00:00:19.186 --> 00:00:22.322 and just thought, you know what, I can do this, 00:00:22.389 --> 00:00:25.125 and not only can I do this, but I think I really enjoy this. 00:00:25.192 --> 00:00:28.729 I've been in practice since 2004, so we're a little over 21 years 00:00:28.795 --> 00:00:30.397 into a career. 00:00:30.464 --> 00:00:34.234 Hard to believe, but as we all know, time flies when you're having fun. 00:00:34.301 --> 00:00:37.437 When I approach a patient, I think all I know to do 00:00:37.504 --> 00:00:39.940 is just treat someone like I would want to be treated, 00:00:40.007 --> 00:00:43.110 treat someone like I would treat my wife, my son. 00:00:43.177 --> 00:00:47.214 What I like most about general dentistry, I can incorporate all aspects 00:00:47.281 --> 00:00:52.386 of dentistry, I'm not limited to one specific procedure. 00:00:52.452 --> 00:00:57.524 You're able to tackle some complex cases, and it's really neat to see a complex case 00:00:57.591 --> 00:01:00.360 go from start to finish and see the final result. 00:01:00.427 --> 00:01:03.597 I actually enjoy coming to work, I enjoy helping people, 00:01:03.764 --> 00:01:07.501 and it's very gratifying, so I'm very lucky.
