I'm incredibly honored and humbled to share that I am among the first few Pakistani-American dentists to be awarded the **Fellowship of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD)**.
The Fellowship is one of the Academy of General Dentistry's most respected professional distinctions. Fewer than **6% of general dentists** have earned this designation. It is awarded to dentists who demonstrate a commitment to lifelong learning by completing hundreds of hours of continuing education across a broad range of clinical disciplines and passing a comprehensive examination. More than a credential, it reflects an ongoing dedication to providing patients with the highest standard of evidence-based care.
This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support of my family, mentors, colleagues, and especially my patients, whose trust inspires me to continue learning and growing every day.
I'm proud to represent the Pakistani-American community through this milestone, and I hope it encourages others to pursue excellence, embrace lifelong learning, and continue opening doors for the generations that follow.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. I'm excited to continue serving my patients with compassion, excellence, and a commitment to always providing the best care possible.
