Patient Impact: 

"During an initial records exam, I had diagnosed a mass in the mandible. I referred the patient to oral surgery and it turned out that the mass contained pre-cancerous cells. This would have developed into full blown cancer within 6 months. The patient's mother thanked me for saving her daughter's life."
