Additional Information
I would like to find an associate position in San Diego and am open to partnership opportunities.
When I'm not being a dentist I love relaxing days on the beach with friends, hiking in fresh air, walking or cuddling with my dogs, travelling to new countries and learning about other cultures, cooking new cuisines and getting cozy with a good book.
I have seven years experience as a general dentist. In my first 4 years (2015-2019) I sought out, worked alongside, and received mentorship from some of the most highly regarded dentists in the Canadian city in which I lived. I worked a very busy schedule, allowing me to obtain vast experience in all areas of general dentistry in a relatively short amount of time. I have continued to advance my skill set and expand my knowledge by participating in study clubs such as Spear education and Tucker Gold as well as attending numerous CE courses. In 2019, one of my mentors offered me an ownership opportunity. For 3 years I co-owned and operated a multi-dentist/specialist practice which provided the full scope of dental treatment. The practice grew despite the pandemic and difficult labor conditions and eventually culminated in a highly profitable sale for all parties. This experience has taught me that I can help build a successful practice by working with a team to provide comprehensive care to the highest possible standard. It has also taught me that while practice ownership can be highly profitable, it is difficult to maintain an appropriate work/life balance, and I get far more personal satisfaction from patient care than the administrative aspects of practice ownership. In January 2022 the decision to sell our dental practice allowed me the opportunity to begin the transition out of the clinic and pursue an exciting opportunity in the best city in the world (my opinion), San Diego. I began a year long fellowship where I learned implant placement, bone augmentation, sinus lifts and soft tissue grafting techniques. The sale of the practice was finalised in July 2022 and in December 2022 I graduated as a Fellow of the International Academy of Dental Implantology. I am excited to work as an associate again and focus on providing excellent dental care without the responsibilities of ownership. I am experienced and confident in all aspects of general dentistry including crowns, root canal therapy, basic/surgical extractions and basic/esthetic fillings. I am systematic and efficient in my approach to patient education, treatment, and building relationships. This has resulted in high treatment acceptance, compliance, word of mouth referrals and patients continuing to come back to see me year after year. I’m looking for a clinic that will allow me to utilise the full scope of my skill set including molar root canal therapy, surgical extractions and implants. Mentorship in full mouth rehabilitation, implants and/or future partnership opportunity would be an asset but not essential.
