His thirst for understanding and his desire to make a difference in people’s lives propelled him to Louisiana State University, where he completed both medical and dental school.

Dr. Bassett’s career took a unique turn as he began his professional journey as an oral surgeon in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) Unit for the U.S. Army during the first Desert Storm. His experiences in the military, including serving as a flight surgeon, paratrooper, and in special forces, exposed him to the rigors of trauma and emergency medicine, shaping his expertise and providing him with invaluable educational opportunities.
