My Journey in Dentistry
Years ago, there was a very well-respected dentist in Orange County. He had a very successful dental practice, showed a true dedication to excellence, and demonstrated a true passion for the dental profession. He also had a 14-year-old patient who used to admire him and look up to him as a mentor. In fact, years later, this dentist influenced his 14-year-old patient to become a dentist.
This is where my journey in dentistry began. I was that 14-year-old patient. And now, I can’t believe I’ve been in private practice for 33 years. Where did the time go?
You’ll experience why my dedication has led me to be selected by Consumers Research Council of America as one of “America’s Top Dentists 2013 – 2017.”
How Were Dentists Selected
Consumers’ Research Council of America has compiled an accurate list of Top Dentists throughout the United States by utilizing a point value system. This method uses a point value for criteria that they deemed valuable in determining Top Dentist. The criteria that were used are as follows: experience, education, continuing education, board certification, and professional association. The dentist who has accumulated a certain amount of points qualified for the list. No fees, donations, sponsorship, or advertising were accepted from any individuals, professionals, corporations, or associations. This policy was strictly adhered to, ensuring an unbiased selection.
It has also been an honor to be acknowledged as one of “America’s Most Honored Professionals.”
How Do America’s Most Honored Professionals Decide Which Professionals Are The Best?
This distinction is awarded for continuous professional recognition, an accomplishment realized by the top American professionals. All qualifying public recognitions of excellence are certified by the American Registry and include significant mentions in the press, honors by recognizing trade groups, and acclaimed recognition by peers or clients.
While I am extremely proud of my accomplishments as a dentist, I am much more concerned about how you feel when you come to see me. I have worked very hard to make our office welcoming and comfortable, as well as to make our dental procedures, an easy process. My philosophy is to treat people the way I would like to be treated. This is why I make it a point to stay compassionate to your needs and to stay informed of all the latest dental techniques. I have been fortunate in the fact that I can say my profession is my hobby. I am confident that the first time you meet me, you’ll understand my passion and love for the dental field.
