I consider myself lucky, as I am truly happy with my profession, and love to come to work each day! The positive impact orthodontics has on our patients lives is immeasurable, and Im glad to help them attain smiles they are proud to share for a lifetime!
I believe it is critical to stay at the forefront of clinical and technological advances in orthodontics. I attend numerous educational courses throughout the year, so I can offer my patients the best treatment options tofit their needs and lifestyle.
I have been practicing orthodontics since 1990, and took overa tradition of excellence from Dr. Richard Swoiskin and Dr. Howard Aduss. I feel so fortunate to be part of this profession. It is rewarding to see how it improves the confidence and the quality of life for my patients, both children and adults.
My treatment philosophy focuses on providing individualized, highest-quality care in a friendly, fun, and warm environment. I always strive for excellence in my clinical results, but also try to make each patient feel at home and make sure everyone gets the personalized attention he or shedeserves.
I enjoy getting to know my patients over time, and I treat each one like part of my family. My best reward is when former patients stop by to visit our office years later just to say hello and show off their beautiful smiles!
I am originally from Buffalo, New York, but have lived in Chicago for nearly three decades, and am proud to have raised my children here. I live in Wilmette with my wifeRimma and ourdog Bellawhile our kids pursue their studies in college and graduate school. We miss the days spent cheering on the sidelines at our kids'sports events, but I am happy to sponsor multiple community sports teams in the area.Our family loves to travel in our free time, you can usually find us hiking in the mountains and white-water rafting out West!

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason to seek orthodontic care. If youre self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.
When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile youve always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure you receive the quality care you deserve.
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great time to wear braces!
A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help ensure a quicker treatment time.
