About Dr. Tarek Abousheta

TREATING EVERYONE LIKE FAMILY “We wait for your caravan every year, you know, it is the only dental care we get here. I feel so much younger, thanks to you, doctor,” was the gratitude I received from a village woman as she hugged me. That first day, while volunteering for the Medical Therapeutic Caravan, changed me in so many ways and gave me the opportunity to remember why I fell in love with dentistry so long ago: its art makes me curious, and I enjoy building rapport with patients and easing their worries. I thought of my patient as my canvas, and my tools as my brushes. Not only did I have to examine, fix, and create, but I also had to prepare and prime my patient-in other words, build a relationship with her and calm her nerves. I'll never forget the look of deep trust and gratitude as her face radiated the most beautiful smile. I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California, followed by a Master's in Dentistry and a Certificate in Orthodontics from the University of the Pacific. I also completed a Residency in Orofacial Pain at the University of Kentucky. These experiences have deepened my commitment to treating every patient like family and providing care that transforms lives.
