Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?

This inspires him each and every day to create more comfortable experiences for his patients – the kind of experience he wishes he had growing up. Plus, dentistry combines other interests of his as well, like building things, solving problems, and engineering.

Dr. Azimi first studied biomedical engineering at Arizona State University. From there, he attended Nova Southeastern University. During his time there, he attended multiple mission trips to Jamaica, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic, where he treated underprivileged populations.
