I'm originally from West Africa, Mali,
[00:00:08.360]
but I did grow up in Ethiopia, Zambia, France,
[00:00:11.440]
and I've been in the United States for the past 22 years.
[00:00:15.280]
I decided to become a dentist because I knew
[00:00:18.160]
that I wanted to help people in being in the health care industry.
[00:00:24.080]
However, I chose dentistry because I see
[00:00:28.680]
that the artistic side of dentistry is something that really attracted me
[00:00:33.520]
because you can change people's smile and in changing their smile,
[00:00:37.920]
you will also change their lives,
[00:00:40.360]
and it's a very rewarding profession for me.
[00:00:43.040]
I want my patients to feel very comfortable
[00:00:45.200]
and feel like they're getting the best care possible.
[00:00:48.640]
My favorite part is being able to know about them,
[00:00:51.840]
good conversation, communication with the patients,
[00:00:54.960]
knowing what they need and how I can best help them.
[00:00:59.160]
The patient dental experience is very important
[00:01:02.360]
because that's what they will remember,
[00:01:07.800]
and that's what usually will cause them to refer your friends
[00:01:13.600]
and also come back to the office,
[00:01:15.800]
so once they have a good experience, the outcome is very good.
