Getting to know our Dentist
What is one advice you want to give to patients?
Your smile is the most powerful thing you can wear!
What are your hobbies /interests outside of work?
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit.” – Will Durant
What are the things that keep you motivated at work?
Work is never dull, as every patient is different, with different needs and experiences. I am also motivated by the idea of growth, to always seek to advance myself personally and professionally, keeping current by leveraging technological advances and learning from peers and experts from around the world. I also find joy and satisfaction in meeting patients from various stages of life and being able to make a difference in their dental journey. I also cherish many precious moments such a child shyly pushes me a hand-drawn card, or when a patient asks for a photo at the end of their braces for memories sake, or leave encouraging words and reviews
What are your favourite dental treatments, and why?
Orthodontics. I love my specialty, and feel so privileged to be able to help patients achieve the best smile that they can have. It is wonderful to watch my patients grow and blossom, knowing that I may have played a little part in improving their self-esteem.
