• Doctors who invest in you: You'll assist Dr. Faris Al Nahhas, who puts patients at ease and builds real trust in his care. You'll also work with Dr. Janice D'Silva, who recently joined us and believes dentistry is about caring for people, not just teeth. With two doctors, you'll get variety and plenty of chances to learn.
