Two Times a Dentist
Her journey to become a dentist started with medical school at the Crimea Federal University in Simferopol Ukraine in 1993 at age 17. The training is six years and she was one of the few students accepted directly from high School. She studied with the medical students including biochemistry, pharmacology and other basic sciences and did clinical rotations in surgery, medicine, obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics and such. From there, she specialized in dentistry. After graduation in 1999, she worked in the government clinic in her home town of Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine.
She immigrated to the USA in 2002 but since the USA only accepts foreign dental training from Canada, she repeated some basic science and completed 4 years of training at the University of Kentucky School of Dentistry. She practiced part time in Middlesbouro, Kentucky for a few years and started the Office at Hoskins Medical in 2023. She is married to Robert C. Hoskins M.D. and they have one daughter in college.
