We respect the fact that our patients are people, and every single one of you is unique. You each have your own needs, hopes, goals, and expectations. So we treat you like the wonderful individuals that you are professionally, respectfully, and with sensitivity.
We dont just treat you the way we want to be treated; we treat you the way you want to be treated. When we ask you questions, we listen carefully to hear the answers so that we can give you what you want and what you need.
A beautiful smile can make a huge impact on a persons quality of life, and I am so lucky to be able to help make them every day. I truly care about my patients and it is very important to me that each patient feels comfortable and enjoys their orthodontic experience.

It is very important for me to constantly be improving my skills and so I regularly attend continuing education courses including the American Association of Orthodontics Annual Meeting, Damon Forum, Arizona Orthodontic Study Club, Invisalign, and Incognito Lingual Orthodontics.
What originally attracted me to dentistry and orthodontics is the ability to make a positive impact on those in my community. I have volunteered at Saint Vincent de Paul dental clinic, Central Arizona Shelter Services dental clinic, Give Kids a Smile, UCSD Free Dental Clinic, and Habitat for Humanity. In addition to my community service, I am a member of the following professional organizations: American Academy of Orthodontics, American Dental Association, Arizona Dental Association, the Arizona Orthodontic Study Club.
I was born in California but moved to Phoenix 15 years ago. My wife, Valerie is a child psychologist in Scottsdale and we have two daughters, Ella and Eden. Outside of the practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, woodworking, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers.
In our Phoenix and Scottsdale locations, our orthodontic staff will welcome you with warmth and care. Youll leave our practice with a smile. Below you can get to know each of our team members a little more!
