Dr. Rob may not originally be from the Lou, but he is excited to get to know all of his new (Cardinals loving) patients! Dr. Rob grew up in Massachusetts, but has lived in all kinds of exciting places, from the Big Apple to the Nations Capitol. In his free time, you will likely catch Dr. Rob riding across the country on his bicycle or playing fetch at the park with his dog pal, Charlie. He loves the great outdoors and enjoys traveling all over the world. He is also ready to be a huge fan of St. Louis City SC!

I completed my undergraduate degree at Wofford College where I earned my bachelors of science in biology, then went to UNC School of Dentistry for my DDS. I love providing dental care to children in a fun and comfortable environment. I am honored to have a job where I can put a child at ease and make them feel safe in a situation where they may be scared.

I was born and raised in Louisiana, went to Millsaps College in Mississippi for undergrad, Midwestern University in Arizona for dental school, and Indiana University/Riley Hospital for Children for my residency. I love being able to provide dental care and education in a fun, friendly, and safe environment for children and adolescents. I have the best job in the whole world!

After attending dental school at SIU and my certificate in Pediatric Dentistry from the Childrens Medical Center, I began my career in the industry with my own practice back in 1986. I have always loved working with kids and helping them keep their smiles healthy ever since!

Kids who visit the dentist early grow up with healthier habits and feel more comfortable with their dentist! If your child has celebrated their first birthday, theyre ready for a visit to Gateway Little Smiles!

When Im not in the office, I enjoy staying active with my wife and son. We appreciate living so close to St. Louis and exploring all the city has to offer. We are avid Cardinals fans and cheer on the team at every possible chance! The top of my list of favorite things includes: everything having to do with Marvel Universe, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and seeing my patients and their families around town.
