What a truly unforgettable whirlwind of a weekend at the second annual ORCAA Symposium. I had the incredible honor of presenting on “Why soft tissue matters: elevating predictability and success in full-arch treatment,” alongside a genuinely star-studded panel of speakers. I felt both proud and profoundly humbled to present alongside clinicians I have long admired—many of whom have guided, challenged, and mentored me throughout my journey.
It was incredibly meaningful to reconnect with old friends, meet new colleagues, and share ideas with so many passionate minds. Moments like these remind me how powerful community and mentorship truly are in our profession.
Every interaction I’ve had with ORCAA has left me in awe of the organization’s vision, integrity, and rapid growth. The level of intention behind every detail of this symposium was evident. It was inspiring, educational, and impeccably organized—creating an environment where learning, collaboration, and genuine connection could thrive.
A heartfelt thank you to Simon and Juan for believing in me and for the trust you placed in me to be part of something so special. This experience has deeply motivated me to continue pushing forward in my passion for clinical excellence, thoughtful business growth, and meaningful education. I left this weekend re-energized, inspired, and incredibly grateful.
Until next time, ORCAA—thank you for raising the bar and reminding us why we do what we do.
