“Tae Kwon Do has become a passion of mine. Like Dentistry, it’s very much about detail. One must pay attention to where hand and foot techniques are placed, as well as correctly assessing an opponent’s movements. Dentists are very prone to back and neck degeneration due to what we do, so exercise and strength are important to overall health. I have loved the martial arts since high school. My family is now known as ‘Team Smith’, as we all compete at tournaments off and on. Just as it is important to keep up to date on current trends in Dentistry, it is equally important to continue to study Tae Kwon Do and keep fine-tuned on forms, weapons and sparring. It is also a lot of fun!”
I appreciate you taking the time to get to know me! And lets be real… it’s important to know where you’re bringing your family. Know that we work to make our dental practice a safe, comfortable, real place. Hopefully getting to know me helps you get an idea of what it’s like to be here! We look forward to potentially meeting you and your family.
