Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Growing up, coming from a family of medical professionals, Dr. Goyal saw firsthand how gratifying and satisfying it is to be able to help people and provide them with the best possible care. Even if it is in a small way, it can give someone a reason to smile.
What drew him to dentistry is that he saw it was the perfect blend of art and science, plus it would give him an opportunity to utilize his hands while forming long term relationships with his patients. He also enjoys that it’s a constantly evolving field. He is always learning new things that improve the way he practices and help him provide the best possible care with the latest innovations.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
After studying at the University of Alabama, Dr. Goyal completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery at New York University in 2010. He is currently a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, which is a hard-earned achievement that only 6% of general dentists ever reach! He is also certified in laser dentistry and currently attending advanced training in dental implants to further elevate his clinical skillset.
