Its a pleasure to spend my day delivering care that brings about positive changes in each persons life. With straight teeth, my patients have a beautiful smile, and one that is healthy too. Their bite is correct for proper chewing, and they are less likely to have dental problems in the future. I help them feel better about themselves by creating a healthy, beautiful smile. A becoming smile makes a person more confident, which helps in their personal and professional life.
Spending my days working one-on-one with patients is very fulfilling. I get to know them as individuals and treasure the relationships that develop as a result of our conversations. Of course, seeing each persons happy face on the day we remove their braces and see their new smile for the first time is the best experience, and one that never grows old.
In addition to being a clinical associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, I actively seek out continuing education offerings. Ours is a constantly evolving profession, and its essential that I remain up to date on new technologies and changing treatment practices. My patients trust me to deliver the highest level of care and orthodontic treatment options. Continuing education ensures I am able to do so.
Except for my college years, Ive been a lifelong resident of Exeter Township. My wife and I have been married for more than 40 years. We enjoy spending time with our three sons, three wonderful daughters-in-law, and our grandchildren. When Im away from the office, I can often be found on the golf course or tennis court or taking long walks with my beautiful wife.
Practicing orthodontics is a professionally and personally rewarding career. Every day I get to assist in changing peoples smiles, as well as their feelings about their appearance, and thats satisfying. When a person feels secure in their smile, they share it more often: their confidence and self-esteem increases, and they become more outgoing and comfortable in every interaction. As an orthodontist, I help bring about these lifelong transformations every day.
Ive been an orthodontist for more than 30years. My father introduced me to dentistry and orthodontics, and I fell in love with the field. The profession allows me time to develop lasting relationships with my patients, to get to know them on a personal level, and learn about their lives and interests. The stories they share about their hobbies, adventures, and plans are always fascinating. I look forward to each persons next visit to hear their latest updates.
Whether I am caring for a young person whos excited to get started with braces, or an adult whos thrilled to be getting the smile theyve always wanted, Im enthusiastic for that person. Orthodontics truly transforms lives.
Its essential I remain current on developments in orthodontics. This is a field that sees constant changes in technologies, treatments, and materials. Staying abreast of those developments ensures my patients receive the highest quality of care. Ive pursued continuing education in orthodontics, aesthetics, lasers, 3D imaging, scanning and aligner treatments, to name a few.
Born in Pittsburgh, my family settled in Wyomissing when I was in the fourth grade, and we have been here ever since. My life is shared with my wife Ann, our daughter Allison, son Patrick, and our family dog, Sophie. When Im not caring for my patients, I enjoy taking walks with Ann and Sophie. Socializing with family and friends is a priority, and I enjoy staying active by biking, playing table-tennis, and hiking. Photography is one of my hobbies. Also, I love competitive tennis and am a 4.5 USTA player.

Our Patient Rewards program provides the opportunity to earn points that can be redeemed for various gift cards in return for excellent cooperation. Keeping teeth sparkling clean, wearing elastics, and visiting the general dentist for checks and cleanings, are only a few of the ways we encourage patients during their journey to a fantastic smile. Contests, Rita's Water Ice days, and special family events like bowling parties and movies are some of the other ways we reward our patients!
Our younger patients enjoy taking part in our Kids Club, which helps them to feel included and excited about treatment if theyre not quite ready for braces. We believe it is important to start orthodontic treatment at the right time. As facultyat the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, they are experts on knowing the best time to begin orthodontic treatment.
Being involved with our community is important to us. Whether it is our annual Food Drive to benefit the Helping Harvest Fresh Food Bank, our drive to help local animal shelters, or supporting Daffodil Days for the American Cancer Society, we hope to help foster community through our events.
