I've been with Central Texas Dental Care
since 2006.
00:00:10.542 --> 00:00:12.708
We're coming up on 19 years.
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.167
It was a struggle to decide
what I was going to be when I was 18.
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.000
Process of elimination
of what I didn't want to do
00:00:21.083 --> 00:00:25.750
led me to working with my hands,
working with people and helping people.
00:00:26.333 --> 00:00:27.717
My dad was a physician.
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.208
He recommended I look into dentistry.
00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:35.083
It's a little scary coming to the dentist
so I like to learn
00:00:35.167 --> 00:00:37.125
something about other people.
00:00:37.292 --> 00:00:40.083
It's Interesting it's nice to know
what they have to say,
00:00:40.333 --> 00:00:42.500
where they come from, what they do,
00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:46.292
want them to feel that the people
that are taking care of them
00:00:46.458 --> 00:00:50.292
care about them
and want them to be at ease
00:00:50.458 --> 00:00:51.833
and to be comfortable.
