“Somehow you can’t get away from your roots — not even if you are doing something new. My mother was a dental technician, my sister is a dental technician, my father was a dental technician and a dentist — for years we had a dental practice right in the same house we all lived in. My father, Dr. Nicol-Curt Dohler (†1995), was Managing Director of the regional Chamber of Dentists (1971–1988), teacher, author, Dental Technicians’ Association Gold Award winner ... and, at the beginning of my career as a dental translator, my most important mentor and my most relentless critic.”
