After graduating in 1994 from University of Texas Science Center in San Antonio, I completed a General Practice Residency in Tampa, Florida. My dental experience continued while serving almost four years in the USAF in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. While serving our country, I received extensive training in oral surgery and made a great deal of life long friends.
Following my work in the Air Force, I returned to Florida to practice in Orlando and the rural community of Inverness. While serving as the Dental Director for the Citrus County Health Department, I initiated community programs to promote high quality dental care for children.
As the daughter of a retired Petroleum Engineer, my childhood was spent visiting and living in several countries overseas. As a family, we became accustomed to moving and becoming part of a new community. Once I entered high school, I remained in the southern states until my family needs brought me to New England in 2008. What a culture shock that relocation was for this Southern Belle!
As I experienced my first snowy winter, I established privileges at several local hospitals and surgery centers. Consequently, I am able to provide extensive dental care for special needs patients and children with numerous cavities in addition to general dental care. For anyone who may be allergic to silver amalgam, I am able to provide a mercury-free environment for treating dental needs.
My philosophy is to treat the 'whole' patient when addressing the individual 's dental needs and considering the best course of treatment. I look forward to taking the 'scary factor' out of your next dental procedure and making each visit more educational and fun!
