When I was younger, I wanted to go into something with the sciences, but I wasn’t really sure. My community had a dentist that I was a patient in their practice, and he loved his job. He loved everything about his work, so I spent a summer working in his practice, and I loved it.
I fell in love with it. His patients loved him, and he loved his patients, so it made me want to do dentistry, so that’s how I got here. So the most rewarding part for me in dentistry is patient care, so I love the opportunity to be able to help a patient to move through whatever fears or anxieties they have, and be happy about their smile at the end, the way their teeth look, and more importantly, the way they feel about the work that’s been done to them, that they’ve received ultimate care, and they feel as if this is a second home for them when it comes to taking care of their health, so that for me is the icing on the cake.

Dr. Sargent provided a second opinion about an on-going dental issue I have been struggling with for the past eight months. Despite the fact that she was meeting me for the first time, Dr. Sargent provided me with both thorough information and compassionate care—at a level that is rarely experienced in today’s efficiency-driven culture. I highly recommend Dr. Sargent!
