From a Ukrainian Immigrant Boy to an Accomplished and Established Professional – What Was His Secret?

April 12, 2022 • Erica Yanney

Dr. Tim Medianick and his family (one of ten children!) moved to Levittown, Pennsylvania, from Ukraine when he was 13 years old. Before finding his calling as a dentist, Dr. Medianick picked up music as a child, learning to play classical piano and alto saxophone. He graduated from Messiah College and received his dental degree from Temple University School of Dentistry, passing his clinical dental boards with an impressive 100%. He is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Dental Association. In addition, Dr. Medianick is a graduate of the Hands-On-Training Institute in Dental Implantology and was awarded a prestigious fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, making him one of the few dentists certified to place implants.

In this interview, he talks about his immigrant journey, his struggles, and how he overcame them to achieve the success he enjoys today. He also speaks about the war in Ukraine and advises on the best ways to help Ukrainian refugees around the world.

A real-life example of determination, hard work, and victory! Another example that shows us the American dream is possible!
