Our practice has definitely done that.

To consistently have that type of back-up is key to me.”

Fast forward to the end of December 2020, I happily decided to join this very high caliber practice as a full-time employee. I am here to handle administrative tasks as well as any patient needs. Being able to assist others has always been a passion of mine. I am excited to help patients in this capacity. I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of such an amazing team!”

Dental Assistant

Ziad received his initial dental training from dental school in Egypt. After serving as a “lead technician” at another practice, he has joined us, because he was seeking a practice “to provide the best care for my patients. I am seeking a positive, challenging environment that accepts the best and gives the patients responsibility and respect”.

With his dental background and well-defined goals for his patients, we expect Ziad to be a great addition to our team.
