“When I applied to do Dentistry, I did so with the ultimate desire to become an Orthodontist. Now I have achieved this aim, I want to provide quality care to all my patients in a non-stressful and happy environment. I do not rush my patients through like a production line. Instead, I try to explain the various aspects of their treatment at each visit. The patient then becomes a part of my team and we can then work together to get a good result.”
