Dr. Jerret Rosenborough, who goes by the moniker Dr. Rose, can credit a series of women for leading him toward his current destination.

With a heavy social media following and celebrity clients like Summer Walker, Cee Dee Lamb, and Amari Cooper, Dr. Rose has quite the resume.

His career path was guided by his mother, teachers, and advisors, who encouraged him to join an academy in middle school and then later a Baylor University summer program while attending Roosevelt High School.

“As a kid, I was outspoken and finished my work. My potential made people invest in my time and that is what a lot of women, teachers, and people did because they saw a kid that had a lot of potential in this environment,” Dr. Rose told AfroTech exclusively. “Looking back, I was not thinking about dentistry. It was divine. I was there because I needed to be in it, and I needed to survive. I didn’t choose dentistry. A woman chose it for me.”

As high school neared, an advisor recommended community college as the next step. However, Rosenborough was still unsure if college was a place for him. His doubts were soon washed away after a pleasant experience at Cedar Valley College, where he also obtained a Rising Star scholarship. Rosenborough finished his time at the local college, completing major science classes and obtaining straight As before transferring to UT Arlington.

For a moment, Rosenborough considered becoming a nurse. In fact, he was accepted to Baylor University Nursing School. However, after further consideration, he was certain dentistry was the right fit. The rest is history as Dr. Rose can be found promoting good oral health at Uptown Dental Studio.
