Over winter break, I had the opportunity of shadowing Dr. Manjula Natrajan at West Chester Dental Group. Dr. Natrajan is a general dentist, so upon arriving in the morning to shadow her, I realized that her day was filled with cleanings, root canals, and the filling of many cavities. I was privileged enough to sit in on many of these procedures, and although I was unable to participate, getting an up and close few of the processes was very interesting to watch. I also saw how Dr. Natrajan interacted with her patients and how many of them were very comfortable around her and it made me realize how I’d like to have a similar type of relationship with my patients. Shadowing Dr. Natrajan was a very good experience for me as it made me see the type of dentist I’d like to be in the future and it set a very good example of the type of dentist I will work hard to be like.
