Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. DiCarlo underwent heart surgery at the age of six, and from that point, he knew he wanted to go into healthcare and help people. He originally thought about being a pediatrician and volunteered at the local hospital while in high school. He eventually shadowed his childhood dentist and decided that dentistry would be a better fit for him. Now, he gets to bring the warmth and caring heart of the pediatrician he might have become to his dental patients in the field that he loves.
