A personal note from
Dr. Hana
​
It is both a privilege and a true pleasure to provide healthcare to my community. As a dentist, I am dedicated to empowering my patients with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their oral health, all while aligning with their personal goals. I am always eager to answer questions and connect patients with the resources that can support them on their journey to better oral health. My goal is to create an inclusive, non-judgmental, and welcoming environment where every patient feels seen, heard, and valued. I’m incredibly excited to be part of the Fernwood Dental team.
