I consider myself incredibly fortunate to interact with so many wonderful people through the practice of Orthodontics. Through every relationship I form with my patients, my colleagues, and my community, I am motivated to build on my own personal and professional passions. I am honored to be a part of each patients journey as we achieve their best smile.
I earned my BA in Biochemistry and MS in Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. I continued to complete my DMD and residency training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. I am a proud member of the American Association of Orthodontics as well as the American Dental Association.
I met my amazing husband in Philadelphia, PA where we lived for 10 years. We were excited to move back to CT in 2018 to be closer to family. On the weekends, we always try to enjoy some of our favorite outdoor activities: camping, hiking, fishing, and nature photography!
As I enter my 44th year of practicing Orthodontics, I have made the decision to turn over the reins of my practice and transition to the next chapter of my life. I feel truly privileged to have treated so many wonderful patients throughout my career! I want to take a moment to thank you for your confidence, trust, and patience. The relationships that I have formed with all my patients will continue to enrich my life and greatly contribute to my happiness. I look forward to seeing everybody around the office as we all transition during this new and exciting time.
Most people call me Jen but I also respond to Jennifer and hey you! I think its important that patients are relaxed and comfortable during their visits. We like talking to patients about whats going on in their lives and we love to joke around too. Our patients are much more than just a set of teeth, and we make it a priority to treat them as real people. Sometimes, sitting in our orthodontics chair and venting about work/school is the most relaxing part of our patients day!
Princess Anna (from Frozen) and I have a lot in common: we both love to make snowmen, family is very important to us, and we are both royalty. OK, that last part may not be true but who doesnt love to think they are a secret princess! I love that we treat patients of all ages, and many extended families kids, parents, cousins, and even grandparents. We want to make sure our office is a pleasant experience for everyone. An orthodontic visit can become a full family outing sometimes, those are the most fun!
