Dr. Cynthia K. Brattesani joined the worms in podcast studio 1-A for the latest podcast. After meeting her and chatting with her via Skype, we can easily say Cynthia is our favorite Italian dentist. She is a very successful dentist in the Bay Area— and we can totally see why! Not only is she very knowledgeable, focused, driven— all of those make for a great dentist, of course. But what really resonated with us is her quote, "Smile often and see what happens." That is a great philosophy for a dentist to embrace. For everyone to embrace, really.
It was a pleasure having Dr. Brattesani as our guest for this podcast. We had so much fun getting to know her story! Thank you, Cynthia! Until next time—

Dr. Brattesani’s passion is innovation serving on many advisory dental boards. Dedicated to the advancement of dentistry, she is a proud member of the Spear Education Faculty Club requiring hundreds of hour of continuing education.
In 2013 she was appointed to the Management Committee of CDA Cares -- managing a dental clinic providing millions of dollars of free dentistry to thousands of the undeserved population. Dr Brattesani was recently quoted in a local dental newsletter stating: “Volunteering for me is a matter of the heart. It offers gifts often disguising themselves in the actual work. It offers me a lesson of humility and the value of courage to make me stand in something that I truly believe in. Volunteering together for the common good allows me to recognize what is truly extraordinary in the world. And once you open your heart----there is no turning back."
In 2015, she was honored with the UCSF 150th Alumni Award, an honor of great distinction.
