About Sami Ubaydi, DDS

I was five years old the first time I visited the dentist. That appointment had a very important impact on my life. Then and there, I knew I wanted to become a dentist. All the models, instruments and gadgets really intrigued me. Luckily, my parents supported my dream and encouraged me throughout school. I lived in Allen Park until my freshman year in college. My parents then moved to Troy where they stayed for many years. I attended Wayne State University where I excelled in my classes. Because I attended classes year-round, I almost finished my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering in 3 years. I applied for early entrance to University of Detroit – Mercy Dental School, and was accepted. I began my dental career in August 1981. I graduated dental school in 1985 and was one of the top 12 students of my senior class. After graduation, I worked at Mid Western Dental Center in Sterling Heights. I became the assistant director of the 20 chair clinic. My ambition to own a private practice was realized when I purchased a practice in Marlette, Michigan in October 1991. As life happens, I became interested in practicing closer to home. I sought out a practice in Metro Detroit. I met Dr. Lesnau and Dr. Brodoski in Sterling Heights and they were glad to have me join the practice. Dr. Lesnau retired shortly thereafter and I became a partner with Dr. Brodoski in October 2007. When Dr. Brodoski retired in December 2011, I became sole owner of Crimson Maple Dental. My dental philosophy includes an emphasis on prevention, using advancing technology in diagnosis and viewing dentistry as a component for complete medical health. At Crimson Maple Dental we treat our patients as we would a family member.
