About this episode

Dr. Eric Phan is a pediatric dentist who decided to take the leap and go back to ortho residency after four years of practice. He developed an interest in ortho during his associateship and decided to purse being one of the few dual-specialists in our profession.

He also shares some tips for those listeners who may consider going back to specialize in orthodontics.
