WHY DID YOU BECOME A DENTIST?

These experiences and ideas eventually led him to the dental field where he’s been happy ever since!
WHERE DID YOU STUDY DENTISTRY?
After attending Texas A&M, Dr. Tamborello pursued his dental doctorate at the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston. Today, he is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, which requires the completion of over 500 hours of continuing education and a rigorous exam.

In addition to the AGD, he is currently a member of the following organizations:
- SPEAR Education
