Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Addy actually grew up as the son of a dentist, and he loved science from a young age. He always wanted to be able to use science in some way to help others. While in college, he would regularly volunteer at a dental clinic that served populations who could not help themselves, and this tremendously rewarding experience inspired him to enter into the profession. All these years later, he’s still completely confident that he made the right choice!
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Addy completed both his undergraduate degree and his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Southern California. He also attended a General Practice Residency at the VA Medical Center in West Los Angeles, has extensively trained at the world-renowned Kois Center, and was even voted as one of San Diego’s top cosmetic and family dentists by San Diego Magazine for 2017 and 2018!
