Zach’s Dentist & Dental Practice Qualifications
Experience level: Director
Welcome to my profile! With a D.M.D. from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, where I served as Class President and head of the Admissions Committee, I have a deep understanding of the dental school admissions process. My experience extends to my AEGD residency at UCLA, where I helped prospective residents navigate their interviews. As the owner and practicing General Dentist at LCF Dentistry, I bring real-world insights into the profession, from clinical practice to hiring decisions. I've been through it all- associate in a small private office, associate in a corporate setting, and a new owner taking over an existing practice. I know what it takes to stand out in a crowded field and excel in a saturated market. I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and tailor a plan to achieve your goals!
