“ I came back to Alaska because it was home to me . I love treating our population , meeting a need for a very special population of children . Our hospital offers a close knit group of dentists that work together , sharing a wide base of knowledge to provide the best care we can .”
ADVICE : “ Take every situation in life and practice as a learning experience – good and bad . It all can help you grow and learn . We have such a unique opportunity to meet the needs of our pediatric population . We have a national cohort of dentists who are willing to teach , to learn , and we ’ re all on the same mission . NYU Langone Dental Medicine graduates are a large part of that .”
