Dr. Shawi earned his Biomedical Science degree from the University of Central Florida and then his DMD from Temple University School of Dentistry. After graduating from Temple Dental in 2023, Dr. Shawi took a job as an associate general dentist in New Jersey for a DSO. He is navigating the intricacies of the dental profession as part of a DSO. Dr. Shawi has decided to embark on a new chapter, relocating with his wife and 3 kids to sunny Florida this summer. He is now at a crossroads, contemplating the next steps in his career—whether to delve deeper into associateship for more experience, possibly with a DSO like Heartland, or take the bold leap into practice ownership, a cherished long-term goal.
