Dr. Diep first considered becoming a dentist while in high school, but he didn’t fully decide on it until college. The determining factor was when he volunteered at a mobile clinic in Oakland, CA. There, he witnessed hundreds of people camping out and waiting for hours to get free dental work. After that experience, he believed dentistry offered a great way to give back to the community that made him who he is today.
