Dentist Chris Catalano

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.942 I grew up here in Marine County, 00:00:09.009 --> 00:00:13.280 and I was a kid that I loved art 00:00:13.780 --> 00:00:17.117 and using my hands doing building models. 00:00:17.184 --> 00:00:21.388 And I've also been passionate about science since very little. 00:00:21.455 --> 00:00:24.429 I also love helping people. I volunteered a lot throughout my life. 00:00:24.858 --> 00:00:29.997 I was mentored by a good friend of mine who I grew up with 00:00:30.063 --> 00:00:33.500 from high school, college, and dental school. 00:00:33.634 --> 00:00:37.070 His father was a dentist, and I met him during those years, 00:00:37.137 --> 00:00:40.073 and I always saw how happy he was and how much he loved dentistry. 00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.143 I remember the first day of dental school, 00:00:43.210 --> 00:00:45.812 I got there and I realized 00:00:45.879 --> 00:00:48.515 that all of those things that are about me, 00:00:48.582 --> 00:00:53.453 my passions, fit dentistry to a T. 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.557 It was like I landed in the spot that was perfect for me. 00:00:56.623 --> 00:01:00.260 When I got out, there was this new revolution 00:01:00.327 --> 00:01:02.696 of cosmetic dentistry, and I just dove into it. 00:01:02.763 --> 00:01:05.399 It's still a passion of mine. I love it. 00:01:05.465 --> 00:01:12.272 I think it is the ultimate blending of every aspect of dentistry into one. 00:01:12.806 --> 00:01:17.644 Love the before and after process of taking something broken down 00:01:17.711 --> 00:01:21.014 or worn down or damaged and fixing it up 00:01:21.081 --> 00:01:23.020 into the way it should look. 00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:28.922 I want my patients to feel like this is the right spot for them 00:01:29.089 --> 00:01:30.296 and that I'm the right dentist for them. 00:01:30.724 --> 00:01:34.716 I have met so many incredible people in this journey in the 33 years, 00:01:35.762 --> 00:01:37.798 and it makes my day. It's the best part of the job.
