I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and did a General Practice Residency at MetroHealth Hospital in Cleveland immediately afterward. Nisha and I opened North Ridgeville Family Dentistry in 2005.

Beyond Dentistry, I have a passion for this community, often visiting the public school system to teach kids and young adults about taking care of their teeth. I lecture regularly about total health to local groups including Pioneer Ridge at Del Webb, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, American Greetings, and Beckett Gas.

My interest in total health has led me to become heavily involved in the role of diet, exercise, mindfulness, and self-improvement as a means toward attaining more peace and happiness in life. As a result, we have created a lending library at the office full of our favorite book recommendations for patients to share. Please take a look when you come in!

The best part of dentistry for me has always been the opportunity to build meaningful bonds with my patients. I believe that a strong dentist-patient relationship should be based on clear communication and collaboration that is tailored to each patient's individual values. Working together to help you achieve your oral health goals is incredibly important to me.
