Each day brings a schedule full of patients and possibilities, whether we are seeing old friends or getting to know great new individuals visiting for the first time. I enjoy hearing patients share their stories as we work together. I learn a lot from my patients and genuine, lasting relationships form.
Dentistry is more than a profession, its a passion for me. I enjoy seeing the confidence patients gain by having a beautiful, bright smile. Having successful treatment is rewarding to both the patient and me because we feel proud of what weve accomplished together. Whether following simple or very complex procedures, it is meaningful for me to see our patients futures brighten by improving their health.
I received my dental education at the Creighton University School of Dentistry. But a professionals education does not just end when a degree is awarded. Staying sharp, up-to-date, and in touch with the ever changing and rapidly advancing technological improvements is imperative. I owe each of my patients the highest level of comfort and care possible and pursuing continuing education makes it possible for me to ensure that.
Whether in clinical settings, seminars, or at meetings, interaction with other professionals is invaluable to expanding any professionals knowledge and skills base. My membership in professional organizations also provides me with endless opportunities for access to the latest research and advancements within my field.
Though I was born in Murray, UT, Reno is where I have spent most of my life. It is where I feel at home, and where my wife, Lisa, and I first met during our college years. Our lives here have been further enriched greatly by our children, three girls and one boy.
