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!"
