A Day in the Life of Dr. Edu Trujillo: Relaxed Precision Personified
By: Ime Maldonado | SEO Specialist for Whiteline
I have been working for Whiteline for six months now, and I don't think I'm wrong in feeling that the atmosphere at the clinic really is as relaxed and friendly as the patients say. After all, it is a clinic founded by a family of healthcare professionals.
I visited the clinic on a Thursday morning, with the intention of getting to know them better. This is what I discussed with Dr. Edu, as Dr. Eduardo Trujillo, endodontist and partner at the clinic, is affectionately known:
IM: How do you start your day, Edu?
ET: At 7 a.m., I'm usually already at the gym. I need energy for the day. I go home, have breakfast, and choose my clothes carefully—everything clean and ironed (laughs).
IM: What time do you arrive at Whiteline?
ET: I arrive around 10:30 a.m. The first thing I do is prepare the dental units, sterilize the equipment, and review each appointment for the day with the reception team. Planning is essential in the clinic to keep everything running smoothly.
IM: How about lunch?
ET: At 2 p.m., lunch at the clinic with the Whiteline Crew. We order from FitGreen To Go —healthy food delivered to the clinic. It's our time to connect as a team.
IM: What happens after lunch?
ET: From 4 p.m. onwards, it's time for planning and appointments. I analyze CT scans, coordinate with other specialists, and respond to emails. Sometimes I visit other clinics in Mérida where I also consult as a specialist. I take the opportunity to bring a little bit of the Whiteline philosophy with me: our professionalism speaks for us as healthcare specialists, but also for our clinic.
IM: At the end of the day, how tired are you?
ET: I confess that by 8 p.m. I just want to go to sleep. The life of a dentist may seem like something out of a medical drama, but it can actually be a bit monotonous.
IM: What do you do to combat that monotony?
ET: I like playing the piano, reading, going to the movies, and spending time with my niece.
IM: Do you have any quirks or special talents that your friends often talk about?
ET: I'm a movie junkie. I know everything that's going on in movies and TV shows, and I can talk about them endlessly. I've also been into anime.
IM: Is that all? There must be something else.
ET: I can solve a Rubik's cube. (Dr. Cassandra's voice is heard: "That's not true!"). Of course I can. I have proof.
As I finish my visit, I confirm what I always suspected: the atmosphere at Whiteline really is as friendly as it seems. Between the jokes flying down the hallways and Dr. Eduardo's professional seriousness, it's clear that here, excellence and warmth are not opposing concepts, but two sides of the same coin.
