Being a dentist for over 40 years has exposed me to people from all walks of life and my door is always open to everyone. Through the years my patients have grown up alongside me. Patients who started as young children now have children and grandchildren of their own coming to the office. I am overjoyed that they trust me, along with my team, to care for their smiles.
It is very exciting to be a dentist in this new technological world. I use state-of-the-art equipment that enables me to provide better, faster and painless solutions for dental problems. I continuously strive to provide all my patients with the most comprehensive and advanced treatment available.
Continuing education enables me to refine my skills and to learn new and innovative procedures to give my patients the best, most comprehensive treatment available. I have taken many advanced courses including restoring complex implant restorations, crowns,bridges, and cosmetic dentistry.
I was born and raised in Jersey City, N.J., and have been a proud member of the Cooper City community for over 40 years. My wonderful wife Cynthia and I have four children:Nina, Andrew, Lisa, and Benjamin. All of us enjoyplaying with our Sheepadoodle, Baker. When I am not in the office I can be found cheering on the Miami Dolphins and Heat, playing golf, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.
Being active in my community is extremely important to me. I have lived and worked in this area for over four decades. This is my community, my home, and my workplace and I want it to be the best it can be. I donate dental service to those in need and participate in the Halloween Candy Buy Back program. The buy-back program entails purchasing candy from our patients and sending it to those who are serving in the armed forces. We also do a yearly food drive to benefit Feeding South Florida.
