From The La Jolla Local: A Lesson on “It’s Never Too Late”, an Interview with Dr. Tracy Taddey

Recorded under previous podcast name and theme, The La Jolla Local

In this episode, you will learn: 

• What lead Tracey to switch up her path after achieving what she 'thought' she had wanted
• What she knows for sure
• Her take on why "it's never too late"

On this episode, we interview Dr. Tracy Taddey, D.D.S. and the owner of the La Jolla Dentist off Prospect Street in the La Jolla Village, which just celebrated 45 years in business. Following in the footsteps of her grandfather and father, Dr. Taddey obtained her B.A. from New York University, and is a third-generation dentist. She began her career at Elle Magazine in New York City as a Beauty and Fashion Editor, researching health issues for articles, and it was there where she realized she wasn’t on the right path. Instead of sticking with a career and life that wasn’t fulfilling to her, she took a chance and left it all behind to pursue Dental School and a path that she knew was more aligned with who she was . Today, Dr. Taddey is honored to be voted BEST DENTIST for 2019 in La Jolla Light Readers Poll and for many past years she has  consistently been voted among The Best Dentists in La Jolla in both The La Jolla Light, and the La Jolla Village News newspaper reader polls. She is also a member of several local and national dental societies including the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association, and is an Alumni Board member of University of the Pacific Dental School. She volunteers her time at schools educating children on dental health and participates in community health projects providing care for children in need. She runs competitively and enjoys participating in Half Marathons and Marathons, including The Boston Marathon 2019.

I really enjoyed getting to know Dr. Tracy, as she is warm, inviting, and a very genuine person. Listen to hear her journey on the path to success, and why “It’s Never Too Late”. Enjoy!
