Meet the Dentist
Debra
S. Zombek D.D.S.
"My
career in dentistry began shortly after graduating from High
School in 1978. I started as a Certified Dental Assistant
graduating from Virginia Western Community College in 1979.
After working as a CDA for 7 years, I retired to
raise our 2 children as a stay home mom. After my youngest started kindergarten,
I went back to school to further my education.
There was always a calling to go back to dentistry.
In 1998, I enrolled at UNC Chapel Hill in the dental hygiene program
where I completed my certificate in Dental Hygiene in 2000.
During this process, I realized how much I actually
missed performing dental procedures. While completing the hygiene program,
I applied for dental school. In February 2000, I was accepted at UNC Chapel
Hill in the DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) program, which was
completed in May 2004."
"My
philosophy is simple in that I
believe each person that sits in my chair is my responsibility
to ensure their complete comprehensive dental care. I
perform an oral cancer head & neck screening at New
Patient Exams and every cleaning appointment. We review
your medical needs at each visit, as well as regularly
check BP/P to make sure there are no hidden problems.
I also believe that your time is just as valuable
as mine. I pride myself on not overbooking my schedule. I see one patient at
a time. I've been a patient in offices where I was on time and yet waited in
both the reception room and in a dental chair for what seemed like an eternity
while the dentist ran from room to room."
"Thank you for giving my staff and myself
the opportunity to serve you."
