✨ The Dr. Hannah Stern Story ✨
Ten years ago, I got an email from Hannah, who was interested in pursuing a career in dentistry. She was introduced to me through her older sister, , who was a student of my husband, , at RISD.
At the time, I strongly encouraged Hannah to follow the path of dentistry, confirming what an artistic yet challenging career it would be. Hannah, an artist herself, grew up in a family of professional artists, photographers, glassblowers, and doctors. What a perfect combination.
She went on to attend the University of Pennsylvania, one of the country’s top dental schools, all the while staying in touch with me for guidance and support. I always told her, “When you graduate, you’ll come work at GSD!”
Fast forward to graduation: Hannah completed her general practice residency at none other than Methodist Hospital, where she trained under our very own . It truly felt meant to be.
During her residency, Hannah would come shadow at Grand Street Dental-watching how I worked, how we operated, and gradually meeting our patients as well as the specialists we love collaborating with.
As soon as she received her license, Hannah officially joined GSD, and this month marks her three-year anniversary with us! We are so proud of you, Hannah, and love watching the genesis of who you’ve become.
Many of you are already huge Dr. Stern fans—and we completely understand why. 💙
Thanks you for these wonderful photos!
