Dr. Sana Yusuf, a dedicated general dentist and United States Army Veteran, has not only established a successful dental practice but has also expanded it into a unique medical spa.
With a background that includes a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Detroit Mercy and a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine, Dr. Yusuf's passion for her work has remained unwavering throughout her journey.
"I have been in the dental field since I was 16 years old and held every role up to this point, including reception, dental assistant, insurance coordinator, and doctor, so I have a strong understanding of every position in this office," Dr. Yusuf explained.
Her path began when she got braces and experienced the excitement of a transformed smile. However, it was the birth of her son at 19 that motivated her to ensure she could support him by pursuing a career in dentistry.
"I went into an accelerated dental program straight out of high school, and after having my son, I was certain I was doing it 100%," she recalled.
Dr. Yusuf graduated summa cum laude in just three years and continued her education at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. After completing her degree, she joined the United States Army as an Active Duty Captain, working as a general dentist and later receiving the Army Commendation Medal for her service.
"I graduated in 2016 at the age of 24, and went straight into the army. I did four years of active duty as a captain in the army for dentistry at Fort Sill, Oklahoma," Dr. Yusuf shared.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Dr. Yusuf and her husband moved to Florida in 2020. Initially, she worked for another dentist, but fate had other plans. A commercial real estate agent, who had been calling her for years to lease a dental practice, reached out to her once again.
"I told him I was not interested and to leave me alone, but in 2020, I finally entertained the idea," Dr. Yusuf said.
With a list of non-negotiable requirements, Dr. Yusuf didn't think the agent would find anything. However, in July 2021, she signed a lease for her own dental practice, which served as the start of her passion project.
"Throughout the whole process, I never expected them to find anything,” Dr. Yusuf said. “But when they actually did, I ended up signing the lease and started working on the construction plan and design."
In August 2021, she discovered she was pregnant with her second child. Determined to make her dream a reality, she worked tirelessly on her practice while preparing for the baby. Dr. Yusuf gave birth in April 2022 and was back at her practice just two weeks later.
"Being an entrepreneur, especially during the early stages of establishing a business, meant I had to be here," Dr. Yusuf said.
Today, Dr. Yusuf's dental practice not only provides high-quality dental care but also doubles as a medical spa, offering patients a unique experience that combines health and relaxation. Driven by passion, dedication, and resilience, her inspiring journey serves as a testament to her commitment to her profession and her patients. Follow her journey on Instagram.
