To whom it may concern:

I am currently seeking to secure a challenging and rewarding position as a dentist within a

growing family practice or with in a company where my skills are effectively utilized to their

fullest potential. My practice philosophy entails effective communication with patients by

utilizing sound judgment, high degree of organization within the office, efficient staff and

schedule management, and quality, ethical dental care; therefore, leading to patient retention

and ultimately solid production with a high collection ratio. My clinical experience with adults

and children comprises anterior/posterior restorations (amalgam/resin),crown, bridges,

dentures, partial dentures, dental cleanings, periodontal treatment- scaling and root planning,

some simple non-surgical extractions, and implant restorations. I have about fourteen years of

dental experience and look forward to bringing my ability and professionalism to a new position

as a dentist within a company or practice..

Thank-you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Samia Shaikh-Milharcic, D.D.S., M.S.D.
