I was drawn to oral and maxillofacial surgery because it combines my passion for dentistry and medicine, allowing me to address complex conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, and face. The ability to restore function, aesthetics, and quality of life for patients through surgical interventions is deeply rewarding. I also appreciate the diversity of cases, from trauma reconstruction to orthognathic surgery, which keeps the field intellectually stimulating and challenging.

Complications are an inherent part of surgery, and I approach them with a calm, systematic mindset. I rely on my training, experience, and thorough preoperative planning to anticipate potential issues. During surgery, I prioritize patient safety, communicate clearly with the team, and adapt techniques as needed. Postoperatively, I monitor patients closely and address complications promptly to ensure optimal outcomes.

I have extensive experience performing orthognathic surgeries to correct jaw misalignments and improve function and aesthetics. I work closely with orthodontists to plan treatments, ensuring precise surgical execution. My approach emphasizes patient education, meticulous preoperative imaging, and postoperative care to achieve stable, long-term results. I also stay updated on advancements in techniques and technology to enhance outcomes.

I prioritize building trust and rapport with patients to alleviate anxiety. I explain the procedure in detail, addressing their concerns and setting realistic expectations. I also discuss anesthesia options and postoperative care to ensure they feel informed and comfortable. For highly anxious patients, I may recommend relaxation techniques or sedation to create a more positive experience.

I stay current by attending conferences, participating in continuing education courses, and reading peer-reviewed journals. I also collaborate with colleagues to discuss challenging cases and share insights. Additionally, I am involved in professional organizations, which provide access to the latest research and advancements in oral and maxillofacial surgery, ensuring I deliver evidence-based care.
