Port St. Lucie - Raeanne Sprague (2)

If there is someone looking for a career in the dental field I would definitely tell them it is a growing field; so the best advice I can give is to just love what you do.  If you have a love for people, a love for helping people get their smile back it is a place to be.

Compassion is such a huge attribute in the medical field because so many people come in unsure of what is happening; they are afraid of procedures that are going to happen, or they are just afraid in general to walk through the door; it is that white coat syndrome. 

So, someone who has that compassion who can just instantly connect to the patient and instantly calm them down is huge.  The patients want to come in and feel like we care about them as a person, not just a number; so having that compassion and being able to really put yourself in the patient’s shoes and feel what they are feeling, calm them down and give them that empathy is one of the top things we are looking for.
