Although Dr. C would occasionally help out at her fathers dental office from the time she was in eighth grade, she didnt plan to be a dentist at that point. She just loved hanging out with her dad. He was Dr. Cs first soccer coach, and one of the reasons why she chose to play soccer at Lafayette College was so her dad could watch her play.
After earning a degree in psychology and a minor in economics, Dr. C soon realized that she shared her fathers passion for dentistry. She graduated from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, but it wasnt until she completed her residency at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick that Dr. C felt she was ready to join her fathers practice. The best part is, she gets to spend most of her days with her dad and best friend.
Free time is rare these days as Dr. C is always looking for new techniques and tools to bring back to Tuttle Dental Care, but she does still enjoy playing and watching soccer. She loves family time with her parents and brothers while skiing in Vermont, and shes been known to toss an axe or two to blow off steam.
