office visit
you don't have to? Generally, when we approach our seasoned
colleagues, or even people completely outside of the field, they'll
often be more than willing to offer wisdom.
Second, be a sponge: Every single person we come in contact
with-and I mean everybody!-can teach us something.
Always be willing to ask good questions and make it a priority
to read great books. If you haven't already, drop what you're doing
and buy Raving Fans by Ken Blanchard and Good to Great by Jim
Collins, for starters. Subscribe to McGill Hill, Collier and Associates,
and Bentson Copple newsletters; they'll pay for themselves in a
matter of weeks. And, of course, be an active Townie!
Most importantly, maintain a humble, teachable attitude and
watch where it takes you.
Describe the most successful or rewarding
experience in your professional life.
One of my favorite aspects of practicing is relating to and getting
to know people who are very different from me. Being so close to
Detroit, our practice sees a diverse patient population represented by
a large variety of races, ethnicities, cultures and socioeconomic levels.
At least 15 to 20 percent of my practice are Middle Eastern, Arabic
speakers, a good portion of whom are immigrants. Madison Heights
is also the epicenter for Michigan's Vietnamese community. We see
quite a few first-generation Eastern European families as well, and
I especially look forward to conversing with my Spanish-speaking
patients. Getting to know these families, hearing their stories and
spending time watching their kids grow up is something special
and makes going to work a pleasure.
Tell us a bit about your life
outside of the practice.
The work-life balance that comes with
being a small business owner orthodontist
is unmatched. I love working, but I really
really love my days out of the office. My wife
is my best friend, and we enjoy exploring
Detroit's restaurants and bar scene. (We
are hardcore foodies!) We're also obsessed
with traveling and experiencing culture,
and have been all over the world (I speak
Spanish and am learning Arabic.) Also, my
faith in Jesus is paramount to my life and I
love serving with my church family. I am
enrolled in a master's program in Christian
Apologetics through Biola University.
Lastly, you can find me CrossFit training
and of course cheering on my Detroit Lions.
(Haters can stay away.) ■
