'I love performing all aspects of dentistry. I get a great deal of satisfaction helping my patients with their basic dental needs and I get very excited when my staff and I provide our patients with the great smiles they always wanted either through aesthetic dentistry or orthodontics or implant dentistry. Another aspect of my work that provides me with great satisfaction is when we convert scared dental patients to patients who feel good about seeing the dentist.'

'I am extremely proud of our very talented and experienced staff. We have several staff members whom have been with us for over 10 years and a few for over 20 years! Their top priority is to take great care of our patients by being sure that they are comfortable and that their needs are being met. We treat all of our patients the way that we would like to be treated.'
