Up, Close & Personal
What do you like most about your job?
I love being able to gain the patients trust and to enable them to take charge over their dental health and to ultimately see a positive outcome in their oral health.
How do you see the future of dentistry?
An amalgamation of prevention and regenerative dentistry; whereby research shows that stem cells can possibly be used to self-heal teeth in the near future.
What are your hobbies? What do you like to do outside of work?
As a devoted vegan, I love all animals and spend my time involving myself in all things animal related around town, including charity work. I also love working out as the weather in Dubai is perfect motivation!
What is the best advice you can give to your patients?
Trust me; I truly care, and I promise to never push you past your limits. I care about your experience and will make sure you get the best possible results and a feeling that you were happy you came.
