With orthodontics as a profession, I never stop learning. There are constant technological changes, and opportunities to collaborate and learn with and from other oral healthcare professionals, so the field is dynamic and challenging. I love that I can customize care to address each patients unique orthodontic needs, and create a smile that is both healthy and beautiful.
Being an orthodontist is incredibly rewarding. I am able to make remarkable changes in my patients lives, which will profoundly and positively impact their lives. Not only will they have an amazing smile, but they will have better oral health, as well.
As a native San Franciscan, I enjoy being part of our community. I like meeting, getting to know, and caring for our diverse population. Its a great feeling to see my patients and their families around town, and be greeted by their confident, beautiful smiles.
