As an orthodontist, I have the ability to make a lasting and positive change in each persons life. By straightening teeth, I correct the individuals bite and profile, and in doing so improve their oral health, boost their self-image, and give them a smile thats filled with confidence.
I attended the University of Kentucky, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in education, andin 1997, my Doctorate of Dental Medicine. Following dental school, I completed the orthodontics program and a Master of Science at the University of Louisville in 1999.
Dental school, and my postdoctorate specialty studies and training in orthodontics, gave me a solid foundation in oral health and the mechanics of tooth movement. It also taught me about aesthetic considerations and how to design atreatment plan for lasting improvementsinbite and function.
I am proud of my practice and especially my awesome staff. They are hardworking, independent minded, and customer service-oriented. Many of my staff members have been with me for years: They share my love for our patient family and a dedication to high-quality care and service.
The orthodontic specialty, like all areas of healthcare, is constantly changing. Research leads to new approaches and materials, as well as technological innovations. Many of these new options have the potential to change the patient experience and improve outcomes.
Suzette, my wife for more than30 years, and I love living in Henderson and are proud to have raised our two children in this wonderful community. Jackson, our son, will graduate from the University of Alabama in May 2021 and enter the University of Kentucky Dental School in August. Our daughterClaudiawill graduate from the University of Kentucky in December 2021 and hopes to start dental school in 2022!
As part of our community, I enjoy giving back and making this a better place for all. I currently serve as a commissioner on the Henderson City Water Board and am a member of the Independence Bank Community board.
