Dr. Ken Nwankwo (known as Dr. Ken), always wanted to help others with their confidence. He initially wanted to be a facial reconstructive surgeon but decided to pursue general dentistry after a life changing encounter with a patient. During his oral surgery externship in Shreveport, Louisiana, Dr. Ken had a patient come in who was filled with anxiety and fear about her upcoming treatment. He put his equipment down and spent time comforting her and helping her understand the cause of her feelings which ultimately helped her get past her fear and anxiety. After that, he knew that he wanted to pursue general dentistry so he could bond with his patients and forge long-lasting relationships with them built on mutual trust and respect. Dr. Ken earned a degree from UT Austin and his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Texas A&M College of Dentistry. He received his post-doctoral degree from Texas A&M University.
