Quotes & Wisdom:
On Perseverance in Surgery:"It’s a lot of perseverance. It’s a lot of sacrifice. Don’t underestimate the number of years you need to buckle down to get there, but it’s doable if you’re serious about it."
On Insurance Reform:"Insurance isn’t what it was designed to be. I want to create a company that uses AI to provide better reimbursement, fewer denials, and more patient-centered care."
On Motivation to Study for the DAT:"What do you do when you’re about to jump in the pool? You just go for it."
On Finding a Good Dentist:"It’s like buying from Amazon. Before you buy, you look at reviews. Do the same for your dentist—check their social media, their reviews—it’s like a pre-consultation."
On Becoming a Surgeon:"Do it. Work hard. You’ve got this. It takes a lot of years, but the sacrifice is worth it if you’re passionate about it."
On Staying at the Top of Your Class:"It’s about routine. Exercise, eat right, sleep well, and study consistently. Build habits that keep you ahead."
On Final Words of Encouragement:"Wish you all a great week. The holidays are coming up, and no matter what, keep pushing forward!"
