Veronica Montgomery joins Sunset Dental Care from Seattle where she lived for 12 years.
Montgomery was raised and attended dental school in Brazil. She worked as a pediatric dentist there. She then moved to the United States where she was an oral surgery assistant for seven years before returning to dental school to become a licensed dentist.
When asked why she chose Conrad, Montgomery comments that “Conrad chose me.” She continued by adding that her family loves the people here.
Growing up, she had a pediatric dentist that she admired and having him as her dentist inspired her to become one herself. That same dentist ended up being her professor in college.
