Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Growing up, Dr. Brong always enjoyed science and math classes. While in high school, he decided to become a physician, so he was pre-med during his first two years of college, studying biochemistry. During this time, he attended a few courses that involved shadowing various doctors, including dentists. While he loved the treatments he saw from surgeons, he was worried about a lack of work/life balance based on the stores he heard. However, when shadowing the dentists, that balance seemed to be a lot healthier. After considering his options a little more, realizing he wanted to work with his hands, and remembering that he enjoyed the dentist’s office growing up, he decided on a new career path – and the rest is history!

- He additionally completed an endodontic molar clerkship at the University of California, San Francisco that includes lectures, case studies, and presentations.
