About Dr. Wahan Experiment

I’m an oral maxillofacial surgeon in private practice, who teaches at the University of Washington Dental School, takes facial trauma and oral surgery call at the hospital, and finds the time to do stuff like this. I make videos and invite guests about topics that I find interesting. This is not only for medical or dental people but meant for most anyone. So enjoy and rate and subscribe if you find it entertaining.
