      About me

      I grew up in Romania, in one of the most famous regions of the world, Transylvania. I come from the city of Tirgu Mures where in 2012 I graduated as a dentist from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy after 6 years of studying. During university and after my graduation I worked for a couple of dental practices in my home town, until I opened my own practice in January 2013. After almost 2 years of private practice, I decided to move abroad as I wanted to improve and to see how dentistry works in other countries. My main options were either the United Kingdom or Ireland but an opportunity came up on the Isle of Man and I took it.  Since 2014, I have been working on the Isle of Man and in Liverpool area.

      Career objective

      Delivering quality healthcare services is a passion and a motivation that I seek daily. My career objective is to improve the self-esteem and health status of my patients through the prevention of illness and promotion of healthy lifestyle. I decided to become a dentist because I enjoy interacting with people and, although it may sound like a cliche, I enjoy helping others. I create a personal relationship that allows any patient to feel at ease and trust me as their dental care provider. By utilizing my experience in the industry and always improving my professional skills I not only provide the help that is needed but also really care about the well-being of my patients. I enjoy working with both children and adults and operate as a team member who provides all requested services for the complete satisfaction of the patient. Through a history of both owning a dental practice and working as an associate dentist, I know the importance of having a dentist who operates not only for his own interests but as an important part of an organization. In this manner I strive to provide excellent service not only for the patient but also because the overall success of the practice is important to me.
