I've been with Central Texas Dental Care
since 2006.
We're coming up on 19 years.
It was a struggle to decide
what I was going to be when I was 18.
Process of elimination
of what I didn't want to do
led me to working with my hands,
working with people and helping people.
My dad was a physician.
He recommended I look into dentistry.
It's a little scary coming to the dentist
so I like to learn
something about other people.
It's Interesting it's nice to know
what they have to say,
where they come from, what they do,
want them to feel that the people
that are taking care of them
care about them
and want them to be at ease
and to be comfortable.
