Office Visit: Dr. Fesaha Gebrehiwot This Townie, who was born in Eritrea, spent his childhood as one of nine children surviving war, famine and drought. At age 20, he moved to the U.S., where he learned English at a community college and worked as a food handler before earning an engineering degree. At age 25, he visited the dentist for the first time and it proved to be a life-changing experience: It inspired him to leave his engineering job and enroll in dental school.
