Tell us how you decided
to get into orthodontics.
I first became interested in dentistry when
a college buddy told me he had just returned
from taking the dental admissions test. He
tossed me the study guide and, to my surprise,
I was really good with the perceptual ability
section. I had entered college wanting to
pursue a career in medicine; however, after
discovering this unique ability, I thought I
might consider a career in dentistry. Shortly
thereafter, Meharry Medical College's
dental admissions recruiter paid a visit to
our campus and asked, "Who's interested
in dental school?" I raised my hand, and
my journey began.
I was accepted early but wasn't allowed
to go because my mother wanted me to
have my undergraduate degree first. After
deferring my admittance and receiving my
undergraduate diploma, fortunately I was
admitted in the next dental class.
Once in dental school, I did work-study
in the orthodontic department for my entire
tenure there and also worked with local
orthodontists in the city. While shadowing,
I was able to learn valuable insight into
the specialty and also develop invaluable
relationships with my preceptors.
After completing dental school, I applied
to orthodontic residency, but I wasn't
accepted. I completed a general practice
residency instead, and reapplied. Fortunately,
I was accepted the very next year.
After you completed your residency at
Howard University, you were fortunate
in that a group practice in Atlanta
reached out to offer you a position.
What were those first few years of
practice like in such an environment?
I joined a large multidisciplinary,
multioffice and high-volume group practice
with a mature orthodontic department. The
senior orthodontist had built a fantastic ortho
department with very efficient protocols
and procedures. I believe it was a perfect
situation for a new graduate.
I was soon given two locations with
my own staff. I began developing my own
treatment plans and managing day-to-day
patient flow. The seasoned staff directed me
at all times on where I should be in the office,
and trained me on how to see patients in a
