Dr. Leanna Shetler and Dr. Matt Dahar were destined to be best friends. In fact, their dads were best friends growing up. They played football together at University of Pittsburgh and were co-residents in Orthodontic Residency as well. Their families were connected before they were even born. As they grew up together, they naturally became life-long friends. Once they graduated high school, they both tried other paths but dentistry kept pulling them back. With such amazing examples in their lives of how you can love on and serve others through your God-given talents, the path was there for them. They grew up knowing firsthand what it meant to serve others with love and how quickly patients can become family. Join the community on Dentaltown at https://www.dentaltown.com
