Dr Sarkis
GP/Cosmetic Dentistry/Implants
My first steps toward my desired career destination started at Yerevan State Medical University from 2004 to 2008 School of Dentistry in Armenia.
I was in my fourth year of undergraduate program at the university and had moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2009, I started for the second time studying dentistry. I got my degree as a Dentist from the Universidad del Salvador (USAL) in 2014, and I started pursuing a Master’s degree in Dental Implantology at the graduate program of the same university which I finished in 2016.
From 2016 to 2018, I was working in my private practice and I was assigned as an associate teacher At the University. However, I was very curious about studying and working in the US. Since in 2018, I moved to Los Angeles, and I started to revalidate my license in order to work in the US.
