“I am thrilled and honored to have received such a prestigious award. What this award really means to me is that the New Dentist Committee and the ADA see the value in our patients as individuals worth advocating for. So many of our patients need an advocate, and when the NDC and ADA honor advocacy, it is the patients who win.”
