become a dentist?

The dentist that Dr. Eric grew up seeing was always so happy and upbeat, and this really made an impression on him. In addition to these positive experiences, Dr. Eric also consistently excelled in school, particularly when it came to science, and he liked working with people as well. Dentistry seemed like the perfect fit because it would allow him to combine his passions while helping people improve their health and appearance, all while owning his own business.

What do you like to do outside of the dental office?

Dr. Eric’s parents, grandparents, and 12 cousins all live in West Michigan. He considers his cousins to be his best friends, and thanks to their 13 children, everyone stays busy and enjoys a lot of quality family time. He and his family are avid outdoorsmen who love to fish and hunt; he looks forward to the deer camp in the fall and hunting Morel mushrooms in the spring. He also likes staying active by lifting weights, which he says frees up his diet and allows him to indulge in his passion for buffalo wings!
