“I really enjoy working and living in Milwaukee because I love all the different people I get to interact with. My job allows me to help educate people about their oral health from all different economic, social, and cultural backgrounds, but these people also educate me about their life experiences. One of my favorite things to do is to try new restaurants with different flavors from around the world. Milwaukee's East Side has so many delicious restaurants that I never would have discovered if it weren't for all my patients’ recommendations." - Mary Turek, Registered Dental Hygienist at our Milwaukee - Beerline B clinic
