Moving On...

As of now, I am no longer working for Dr. Amy Woo. I had a wonderful 2 years there and got to know some patients very well. I am very saddened that I may never see some of those great people again. I am on the hunt for a new office to call home. Currently, I am practicing at Dr. Tim Mickiewicz office on 3401 Folsom Blvd, Sacramento CA 95816. He's a great mentor and has been practicing for over 27 years. I am helping him 2 days a week, in hopes that our dental values match and it will become my new/permanent place to serve the Sacramento community. If you would like information on his office you can visit www.drmickdds.com.

On Februaury 7, 2009- I participated in Smiles for Kids 2009 which is a program provided by the Sacramento District Dental Society to help provide treatment to underprivileged children in the Sacramento Community. If you would like to learn more about the program you can contact the Sacramento Dental Society. Participating dentists in the Sacramento area open their offices and volunteers provide as much dental treatment as possible. After the day, doctors have the opportunity to adopt a child to complete the rest of the treatment needed.

In May- I went on a dental mission to Peru with fellow dentists and dental students to provide dental care to the under-served community in Cusco. It was an eye-opening experience and it allowed me to see how dentistry is practiced in other countries. I can't wait until I'm able to do another dental mission. I feel that dentists have the responsibility to use their skill to provide care for others.
