"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Being in the field of dentistry, it's not often that you get to quote American poets, like Robert Frost.

Dr. Dabiri is a Canadian dentist, she obtained her dental degree from the University of British Columbia in 2008. She moved to Ann Arbor after graduation to complete a General Practice Residency at the University of Michigan Health System (2009).
