'I have never believed that greatdentistry was just a practice. Great dentistry begins in a mindset, a dedication to serving people on a personal level and embracing only the highest standards. That is the environment we have worked to create at Dentistry by Design.

My goal is to treat my patients with the same care and concern that I would devote to my own family. If there is a technique or material that is going to enrich my patients experience, I want to employ it. If there is a way to increase my patients comfort and lessen their anxiety, I want to find it.'
