Additional Information
Providing great, compassionate dental care in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. I would like to be an asset to a practice that wants to have the benefit of an experienced clinician, in a part-time capacity.
Let's get the important item out of the way first! I am left-handed. Many treatment room set-ups can make the transition easily, but I would not be a good fit for an office that does not have the ability to make that accommodation.That said- I am 60 but feel like I am 40. I am a Christian, married with 2 almost-grown children. I am located in an area outside of Murfreesboro TN. I sold my practices several years ago, and started spending some of my time helping dentists review their savings and retirement planning. However I still enjoy practicing on a part-time basis.
I have spent most of my career continually learning in attempt to be the best dentist for my patients. I did a hospital-based GPR at Yale University, and used that to to start my career. I have practiced 34 years, the last 8 have been in a part-time capacity. I have limited the scope of my practice recently to traditional general practice restorative work. I enjoy teaching others- Although I have never held a teaching position, I enjoy supporting other people who want to excel at what they are doing.
I have trained with some great instructors over the years. In the process I was awarded the Masters of the AGD. Besides the traditional programs offered by Dawson and Pankey, I have found some other programs such as the Spear Institute to be particularly rewarding. At one point I had completed all of their programs and was a part of their Faculty Club which was a great way to collaborate with some excellent clinicians.
I am not sure what is required in this section. With over 1500 continuing education hours over the years, I feel I have a diverse understanding of dentistry and how to communicate complex oral health issues to patients to develop a treatment plan that meets the patient's wants and needs.
