I joined the dental field 20 years ago, I started as a dental assistant, but quickly became a manager. The love of helping people is what initially started me in this field, the fact that someone comes in not smiling and can walk out with a smile is fulfilling. I met Dr Desai 13 years ago, and seeing her interact with her patients, I knew we would work well together. We work closely with our patients, by sitting down with them one on one, and making those smiles happen.
