Angela Navas '18 shares insights about her alumni mentor, Dr. Gail Strahs, D.D.S '76:

"Dr. Strahs has been an excellent aid to my own knowledge and understanding of what it takes to be an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. She takes the time to explain her process of consultations and surgeries and answers any questions I may have about a procedure. I've even had the opportunity to learn by shadowing Dr. Strahs during a surgery.”
