Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Sara grew up at this practice since her mom started it over 40 years ago. Inspired by the care, expertise, and empathy her mother provided for each patients, she initially thought that she would go into medicine so she could be “like mom, but not just like mom.”
