What made you decide to work in healthcare?
Before going into healthcare, I was working for Continental Airlines as a dispatcher in the control tower. My job was not challenging and I was very bored. One day I was reading the classified ads and noticed lots of openings for dental assistants, so I decided to sign up for a class and it was very interesting. I loved it.

Have you had any dental work done at The Silverstrom Group? If so, what and how was the process?
