Patient Impact:

“Very early in my career I had the pleasure of having a 42 year old woman as a patient who had Tetracycline staining on her teeth. For years, she masked her smile with her hands. After two treatment visits, I handed her the mirror and, almost by reflex, she raised her hand to hide her smile only to stop halfway. Her entire demeanor and posture transformed right before me as she radiated with confidence. She married shortly thereafter and invited me to her wedding.”

Personal Quote:

“I will always aim to make a positive impact on my patients’ lives. I believe that establishing clear lines of communication with my patients is essential to achieving optimal dental care. To truly care for people, it is fundamental to see things from their perspective in order to establish a higher level of understanding and education. I strive to stay up to date on new materials and innovations being brought into the field of dentistry. As my patient, you can expect one-on-one attention, honesty, comfort, treatment choices, and the opportunity to start the best dentistry possible today!”
