I spent over a decade practicing in both New York and California. While the practice of dentistry is the same regardless of where you practice, the demands and wants to the patient could substantially differ based on your demographics. By combining what I've learned living and practicing on both coasts, I can generally appease even the most selective patients. I accomplish this by offering you all of your options in advance to help you make an informed decision on what makes the most sense based on specific needs.
