Dr. Maheu was drawn to dentistry because he saw it as a mix of science and art, and he liked the challenges it could present. Having to work with people and provide care that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing is immensely satisfying, and looking back, he couldn’t have chosen a better path for himself.
