Hi Im doctor Megan Elam. Welcome to our office. So, I got my start in dentistry because I went to college thinking I wanted to be a veterinarian bur working for a veterinarian I decided it was not for me and so as a senior in college, I had to decide what I was going to do with a biology degree. So, I had a friend who was pretty dental and she kept telling me that I needed to look into it and to come shadow in office and so finally I gave in and I did and I absolutely loved it. So, in the first week being there was awesome, and so i thought why in the world do I like dentistry. So, I grew up playing with power tools essentially with my dad we did a lot of remodelling and so knew how to use. Trails and everything else, and so it just made sense I like to use power tools now. Except now my power tools are teeny tiny and theyre working on teeny tiny teeth.

So I went to college in Abilene, TX at Hardin Simmons university, small private school and then I went down to San Antonio for dental school by in laws are there in so my husband only want to move back up here where Im from. So that was kind of a compromise. We got to spend about five years down there with his family and the school is a great school so, we were there for five years. Moved back up here and we have been here ever since. When I first got out of school, I knew that I wanted to practice up in the metroplex around where I grew up in south lake and so just looking at practices, I was out of office for about a year and then I decided that I wanted in the private practice sector and so just looking what was available and I met doctor brown who has been here 30 plus years. When I came and did a working interview and I loved it. The employees have been here since he started and then all wonderful. And so I got to know the patients, even just in the first few days and could tell that they were great and so everything worked out really well to come to Bedford. Thanks for watching. We look forward to seeing you soon in our office.
