Motto:

Favorite Charitable cause/causes and how they made a change or impact on your business and life: Too many to list. But I have a special soft spot for the underprivileged. We are very blessed in our lives and don’t realize there are many more that are not as fortunate as we are. I try to give back at the Freedom dental clinic, Interfaith services, Marion Literacy Council, Kimberly’s Center and within my own dental practice. Creating beautiful smiles with my skill and expertise is a gift that I have been given. I just try to give that back in any way I can. Most exciting place/places you have traveled and why: Seeing the World is my passion. I thrive and grow as a person as I learn many cultures and ways of life. The most recent trip was to Israel. I got to see different cultures and faiths cohabitating in a very small area in Jerusalem. It shows that humanity and humankind can conquer their

Most important goal for your business: Learning new techniques, improving my skills and branching out to help people better themselves. Chandra Smile Designs is constantly evolving. To complement that business, my husband, Dr. Ravi Chandra, and I expanded our professions recently and introduced The Chandra Wellness Center in Ocala. It offers new technology to help people with health and wellness issues from Incontinence/Bladder leakage, Body Sculpting and Facial non surgical Lifts. www.StrongAndHealthyOcala.com

What matters most in your business/ life: I pride myself in being honest, caring and compassionate. For my patients, they deserve the Best from me! They trust me to keep up with continuing education with advances in my cosmetic, TMD and Sleep dentistry profession. I want to be able to offer a wide range of services that help people with health and wellness issues.

Favorite things about Ocala/Marion County: Ocala has been my home for nearly half my life. My daughter was born here. My husband and I practice our professions here. Ocala is a very giving and loyal community. It has given us a wonderful life with opportunities for our personal and professional growth. The friends we have made and our patients are like our family. My only hope is to give it back what it has given me.

If you could change one thing in your business world what would it be: Nothing. I would do it the same all over again.
