About Ismail Pardazi, DMD
I moved to Arizona from Texas when I was 2 years old, so while not technically a native Arizonian, I’m pretty close. I grew up in Tempe and went to McClintock High School, followed by Arizona State University for my undergraduate studies. I knew that I wanted to help people and I wanted to work in healthcare, I just didn’t know in what capacity. It wasn’t until I started to shadow my childhood dentist that I realized it’s what I wanted to do. I like meeting new people and just talking to them and finding out where they are from, where they’ve been. More often than not, someone who is from a different background, upbringing and generation has a great deal in common with you and it’s fun to find out those connections. With dentistry, each day is different than the day before; there is no monotony with it.
