Additional Information
I’m looking to join a group practice with experienced practitioners to have the opportunity to learn from various mindsets and areas of expertise. I am extremely eager to continue developing my skills and enhancing my knowledge and I am looking for the right environment to do this. I am especially interested in endodontics and ideally would like mentorship in this area. I aspire to be a part of the next generation of dentists to lead the industry in the direction of greater scope and higher standards.
I am originally from South Florida but my wife and I have fallen in love with Southeast and would love to relocate to NC, GA, or TN. I am Hispanic and bilingual (Spanish). I come from the UAB School of Dentistry known for its program's significant clinical rigor. I am committed to developing the skills and knowledge to provide excellent patient-centered care on the basis of evidence-based diagnosis, treatment and outcomes.
