I entered into my dental anesthesiology residency program with full knowledge and understanding that I would not graduate as a “specialist” within dentistry. My rigorous, three-year training program was spent in operating rooms providing anesthesia for all types of surgical cases. 

At home, on the train, and in the library, I was poring over pharmacology, physiology, and medical textbooks. I worked tirelessly to become the best anesthesia practitioner I could be so that one day I could safely provide anesthesia services for patients undergoing dental procedures.
