Why Did You Want
to Become a Dentist?
After going to college in California, Dr. Garrad returned to Texas to be with her family. She worked for large companies in logistics and then in pharmaceuticals before deciding that she wanted to help people one-on-one. So, she started volunteering at a small clinic in north Dallas. This clinic provided both medical and dental services, and one day, the dental staff needed help. She ended up assisting a few dentists as they removed painful, infected teeth for some very appreciative patients. Dr. Garrad loved how the team could help improve a person's quality of life in just a few minutes, and this motivated her to become a dentist herself.
Where Did You
Study Dentistry?
Dr. Garrad went to Stanford University for her undergraduate education, and she eventually enrolled at the Texas A&M College of Dentistry, going on to graduate in the top 5% of her class. Since then, she has gone on to complete advanced training focused on both Invisalign and dental implants. She is an Invisalign Certified Provider and earned the Pre-Doctoral Award from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Plus, she still pursues continuing education to this day through her memberships with prestigious organizations like Spear Education.
