Why Did You Want to Become a Dentist?

Seeking to expand his expertise, Dr. Ahn pursued further studies in the United States. He attended his second dental school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, the top-ranked dental school in the U.S., and earned his second DDS degree in 2010. Although he initially planned to return to South Korea, he and his family fell in love with the U.S. and decided to stay.
