Today, instead of just looking at a patients teeth, we are able to treat a persons face and improve facial aesthetics as well as helpour clients achieve a beautiful, healthy smile. It is incredibly rewarding to be a part of that process.
I graduated from Thibodaux High School in 1974, and attended Nicholls State University. I graduated in 1978 with a degree in chemistry, and minors in math and biology. Then I attended Louisiana State University School of Dentistry and graduated with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1982.
The state board requires approximately 20 hours of continuing education a year to maintain licensure. I regularly surpass this requirement; in some years, I have completed more than 100 hours of CE. The field of dentistry is changing and evolving at a rapid pace, and keeping up with the latest information is vital for quality care.
Over 20 years ago, Dr. Wendy Maes began working with me, and thats when I searched and found the best clinicians in the country in order to learn from them. As a result, we offer nearly all dental procedures in our one facility. I continue to get extensive post-doctoral training in all areas of dentistry.
I was born and raised in Thibodaux, and currently live in Prairieville, just minutes away from the office in Geismar. I have been married to my wife Alice for more than 34 years. We met in high school and were married during my junior year in dental school. We have three wonderful children Lacey, Kelly, and Beau and four grandchildren. We also have Sadie, our long-haired Chihuahua.
My greatest passion in my life at this point is my personal relationship with God. I spend most of my thought life now thinking of ways to put a smile on Gods face. As a result of this, I spend more and more of my time giving back to people who are in need of dental care. We are called to help those in need, and one of my greatest feelings of achievement is providing care to such people.
