📍It’s 2026, I’m studying the board exam and a few months behind responding to comments and DM but I PROMISE I’ll catch up after February 3rd! I work at All County Oral Surgery in Melville on Long Island, NY. I’m an associate surgeon here & working toward a personal goal of becoming a partner one day. Outside of dentistry, I have side projects & companies to bring my passions to life, including mentorship, education, and life strategy, and I obnoxiously share a lot of content on it all as I go hahahaha

👉 Keep an eye out for my weekly TikTok LIVE Q&A Session (usually Sunday evenings) and the monthly Q&A session on Instagram (end of every month). Let me know how I can help you

🌎 *** PreDent Mentor Map is now LIVE, at predentmentormap.org ! *** it’s a free resource for predental students to use for data on every dental school, and to connect with current dental students for personalized mentoring.

🙋🏼‍♂️ If you’re an organization or club at a school and you’d like to discuss a partnership, event or conference, DM me on Instagram or LinkedIn- that is the best way to contact me directly

❤️ MOST importantly: THANK YOU. Mentoring is what got me here, and it is how I’ll help you achieve your dream goals as best I can. You are a MASSIVE part of this journey to me, more than you know

🤠 Sincerely, Brendan @doctorgallagher
