My journey began with my immigration to the U.S. at the age of thirteen. I came as a refugee, from humble beginnings to live with extended family. As long as I can remember, I had a dream of pursuing higher education and a better future for myself. My love for learning began at a very young age because, thinking back, I often slept with a book underneath my pillow. I grew up in a village without any technology, so knitting and doing other creative crafts with my hands became a favorite pastime. It was the combination of my passion for learning, loving to work with my hands and wanting to help people that lead me into researching the profession of dentistry while still in high school. Thats when I decided that becoming a dentist was going to be my life career goal.

From that point on, I devoted strenuous amounts of time to studying and ensuring my future career in dentistry. During my high school years, I did my best academically and graduated in 1980 as Valedictorian of my High School.

Having a set plan for my future helped me to stay focused at Rutgers University, where I earned my Bachelors in Science. In between semesters, I found different jobs to support myself. I always worked hard and stayed busy. Through all this,I was blessed to gain all these different experiences and the importance of being humble.

Graduating from Rutgers in 1984, I continued to Columbia School of Dental and Oral Surgery to earn by Doctorate in Dentistry. While in dental school, I had multiple opportunities to work alongside my professors as a dental assistant in their private practices. Learning invaluable practical experience from my professors was an opportunity of a lifetime for me and one that left a positive impact. While working in their office, I learned dentistry from the ground up. These professors have been long lasting role models in my dental career.

When I graduated with my Doctorate of Dental Science in 1988, I went on to work in a General Residency program for the Catholic Medical Center of Brooklyn and Queens. The program was very comprehensive for dentistry and a priceless foundational experience. Upon, its completion, I found employment in private practice with Fords Family Dental Care.

I am extremely empathetic to all my patients because I know dental anxiety at a gut level from the tons of dental work I have in my mouth delivered by different dentists. Through years of practicing dentistry, I have also come to recognize that behind each tooth is an individual person with fears, wants and needs unlike anyone else. My practice is full of compassion, integrity, and respect with special attention to each patient as we try to deliver optimal dental care. Our practice has solidly grown because of our belief in those values. Our patients are the heart of our practice who deserve the best and my team and I work very meticulously to deliver just that. We want to be a team that our patients are proud to recommend their family, friends, and neighbors to

It has been an amazing journey with the biggest gift being the multitude of relationships I have gained with my patients through my practice.
