What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive environment that fosters professional growth and values patient-centered care.

I am a passionate dentist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery from The University of Jordan. My journey in dentistry has been enriched by diverse experiences, from working as a general practitioner in Jordan to my current role as a back office lead dental assistant in training at Lollipop Dental. I thrive in collaborative environments, ensuring that my team operates efficiently while providing exceptional care to our patients.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in various dental procedures, including administering nitrous oxide, taking X-rays, and preparing teeth for crowns and veneers. My commitment to patient satisfaction is reflected in my research on dental treatment experiences, which is currently in pre-print. I am eager to bring my expertise and empathetic approach to a dynamic dental practice that values teamwork and patient care.
