For 22 years, Shelby Township dentist Ban R. Barbat, DDS has awarded an annual Ban R. Barbat, DDS-PC Scholarship to aid high school graduates in their pursuit of health-related careers. The 2024 recipient is…

ALEXANDRA KORTE

ALEXANDRA KORTE, an Eisenhower High School graduate, excels both academically and athletically. A knee injury led her to consider a career in medicine with the desire to “put quality healthcare in the hands of all people,” that is “affordable, accessible, and supportive.” She will be attending Michigan State University this fall to begin her career path to become an Osteopathic doctor.

Additionally, Alexandra wishes to expand her knowledge in “computational biology” to provide people with a broader understanding of their own genome for more-involved self-care.

For over 25 years, Dr. Ban Barbat’s dental office has been a generous supporter of the Macomb County community. In addition to annual scholarships and other support, her office is a consistent sponsor of Shelby Parks & Recreation department’s activities and events.

A general/neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Barbat’s Shelby Township dental office stays on the leading edge of advanced skills and technology. She provides all levels of cosmetic and restorative dentistry, all stages of dental implants, oral and IV sedation, TMJ and snoring/sleep apnea therapy, and advanced methods to treat most stages of gum disease.
