My journey through dentistry

About me

I am Dr Hassan Akhtar and I have achieved a Masters in Dental Medicine. I am from the UK but I chose to study my degree abroad in Bulgaria.

One of the best things of studying abroad- travelling to neighbouring countries!

Gaining clinical experience has been such a privlege

Communicating with my patients has proven to be one of the best parts of being a dentist!

 

Making my dreams into a reality

In 2017, with the support of my family, I moved overseas to a new country I had never visited previously called Bulgaria. 

Fast forward to today, I can confidently say this was the best decision I ever made in my life!

I am extremely grateful that I have the opportunity to share my passion for dentistry with my very own patients and help them. I hope to inspire others who want to pursue their dreams and make them a reality.

 Life Before Dentistry

Being the Deputy Member of UK Youth Parliament

At age 13, being elected for this highly responsible role allowed me to gain many skills and use them to give back to my community. I was involved in making public speeches at various events and elections, as well as raising awareness about important issues affecting the youth of my Borough.

I am extremely grateful to have received awards for my work during my time as elected Deputy Member of UK Youth Parliament for my Borough. Being featured in news articles and raising awareness was a huge step for me to take towards helping the young people of my community.

 

This was a humbling experience and will be something I will always keep close to my heart. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be the voice of the young community to help those around me. Making public speeches and campaigning to gain peoples’ votes allowed me to gain the confidence I have today.

I hope I can continue to make a positive difference to people’s lives, especially through my dentistry.
