My father was a veterinarian for over 50 years, and I remember helping out at his office when I was young. My dad truly loved what he did and his clients had a connection with, and trusted him, with their pet's health. My younger brother took over my dad's veterinary practice and has kept that caring tradition going. I chose my path because I was drawn to the art and science of dentistry and human health care. I hope my patients feel that same level of trust with the care. we provide.
I am a graduate of St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH, and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. I was a Faculty Club member at Spear Education, a leading global post-graduate education facility, from 1999-2020. My post-graduate education has focused on learning and expanding the treatment I do that serves the best interest of my patients. Bringing new technology into the dental office has made me a better family preventive and restorative dentist. I have a special interest in treating patients with sleep disordered breathing, and have achieved Diplomate status with The American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
The health of the relationship between the provider and the patient is just as important as the health of the patient. We are proud of our small team of professionals who are here to provide you with excellent care.
