To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Dr. ____ ____ and I am a dentist and endodontist working alongside my father in our practice in ____, New Jersey. Since this past January 2017, we have had the profound opportunity of being shadowed, closely observed, and very much assisted by ____, a delightful and charming young woman who is an amazingly fast learner and extremely dedicated to her goal of becoming a dentist. She supports us with procedures, patient preparation, and education, as well as office procedures. ____ will be very sorely missed when she leaves us. I could not recommend her more highly for dental school.

My father and I both have a great appreciation for diversity in dentistry and outreach to the underserved. ____ is a walking symbol of diversity celebration and concern for the underserved. I envy her facility with language and especially her ability to relate to underprivileged children. She is quite extraordinary and blessed as far as she is a native speaker of Spanish as well as English since both of her parents are from Puerto Rico and is even fluent in Italian as well as rapidly learning Portuguese. This is such a special asset these days in multilingual America, particularly as concerns the underserved.

Next year, ____ will be completing her MS Degree in Biomedical Sciences - and it shows. She is very conversant and passionate about developments in all areas of medicine as well as dentistry, especially as far as they are related to public health. ____ is extremely dedicated, and an extremely hard worker who stays very much engaged with the community, especially for healthcare related events and activities.

My father has shared with me on numerous occasions how he also very much appreciates the innumerable contributions that ____ has made to the day-to-day operations of our clinic, especially in her attention to the patients. Her passion for learning everything that she can about dentistry as quickly as she can learn, is inspiring. She catches on to things very quickly.

An aspiring dental professional demonstrates compassionate care, exemplifying qualities for a strong recommendation to dental school.

____ is very pleasant company with a marvelous sense of humor and good cheer, her sheer enthusiasm for oral health is contagious. While she was studying dental immunology, for example, she would come to the clinic with her brain working non-stop, bubbling over with ideas for advancement in oral health, especially the protection of the oral health of children.

While she is marvelous with patients of all ages, she is unsurpassed from my experience, in her ability to attend to children, calm them, put them at ease, bond with them. Thus, it does not surprise me at all that ____ has her sights set on becoming a Pediatric Dentist, after first completing your distinguished program. It is an honor to recommend her.

Please let me know if I can provide any further recommendation for ____ as we are fully assured that she has enormous potential to someday rank among the very finest of pediatric dentists.

Sincerely,
