Intro Music: Do The Math: by SLPSTRM from Artlist https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/artist/slpstrm/503

Dr. Mark Van Duker and his wife Evelyn are starting off on the venture of a lifetime together. Michael Dinsio talks to them about trials and tribulations. The upcoming challenges when first opening the doors. He also asks the questions that are important when leading up to the Grand Opening. The Van Dukers nailed this episode and were super open and great sports talking about what it takes when you decide to do a dental practice start up.

Dr. Mark became a dentist because his childhood hero was a dentist. His grandfather, a World War Two veteran from humble beginnings, became a dentist after the war. Dr. Mark has many fun memories of his grandfather, and ultimately chose dentistry to be more like him. Science was also a big part of Dr. Mark’s life because his mother was an anatomy professor, always requiring him to work extra hard in science classes.

During Dr. Mark’s undergraduate education, he became interested in working with children. At that time, his nephew was diagnosed with autism. To better understand his brother’s situation, Dr. Mark began volunteering with local programs that helped children with special needs. Through this he not only gained empathy for parents of children with special healthcare needs, but also had a lot of fun. He found that putting smiles on kids’ faces and giving them individualized attention brought meaning to his life.

Dr. Mark attended dental school at the highly ranked University of Washington School of Dentistry, followed by his pediatric dentistry residency at top-ranked Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. Dr. Mark's mentor in residency served on the leadership of the Board of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
