To consistently have that type of back-up is key to me.”

Fast forward to the end of December 2020, I happily decided to join this very high caliber practice as a full-time employee. I am here to handle administrative tasks as well as any patient needs. Being able to assist others has always been a passion of mine. I am excited to help patients in this capacity. I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of such an amazing team!”

Ziad received his initial dental training from dental school in Egypt. After serving as a “lead technician” at another practice, he has joined us, because he was seeking a practice “to provide the best care for my patients.
