I love working with kids of all ages and want to show all of our patients how going to the dentist can be fun, especially with magic tricks! My goal is to have kids grow up fearless in a dental setting, and, equally as important, teach families the skills that will help keep their dental visits to a minimum. Starting them off early will lead to a lifetime of prevention!
Im active with my continuing education and the newest technologies available. I have had training in the uses of ozone therapy for applications in dentistry, and am a member of theInternational Association of Orofacial Myology, which specializes in the position of the oral and facial muscles and habit patterns.
Im married and have two teenagers. At home, I enjoy gardening and am well practiced at chasing gophers away! Im a cyclist and love my annual backpacking adventures. West County is my home and I like to get my family out to explore the world around them near and far, as often as possible. I consider myself to be a lifetime learner and mentor,and always enjoy spending time expanding my skills both professionally and personally.
Providing a compassionate, friendly, and a fun environment for children is such a privilege. It is also one of the main reasons I decided to become a pediatric dentist. I feel grateful to have the opportunity to build a trusting relationship with the families in our community. And nothing makes me happier than to see the children leave after their visit with a big smile on their face! It is very rewarding to help create a positive and lasting impact on a childs lifelong oral health. I look forward to meeting you and being of service.

I am a general dentist with a passion for working with childrenand individuals with special needs. For the past two years, I have worked with the underserved community of Northern California as part of the National Health Service Corps, and have limited my practice to helping children. Coming from a public health background, I am motivated to help educate families and children about how to be cavity free, and have positive experiences at the dentist.
