Orthodontics is not just my profession; it is a huge part of my life. The ability to help so many wonderful people achieve their goal of attaining a healthy and beautiful smile is an incredible source of energy and inspiration. Artist by nature and scientist by education, I chose to become an orthodontist because of my passion for helping people change and improve their lives. I strongly believe that a beautiful smile plays a part in ones success. Every smile that I treat is an opportunity to make a positive impact on someones life. As I help my patients, they help me as well. I meet many fantastic people every day who help me grow and enrich my life.
Education and Continuing Education I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Case Western Reserve University, as well as my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. I attended the State University of New York at Buffalo where I earned my Master of Science degree and Certificate of Proficiency in Orthodontics. I was awarded the Pierre Fouchard Award, the Teledyne Waterpik Award in Prosthodontics, the American Academy of Dental Practice Administration Award, and the Academy of General Dentistry Award. I am actively involved in a number of local dental and orthodontic study groups and attend numerous continued education courses to stay abreast of current techniques and developments.
