My practice is about you! I listen, then help you understand your dental options. I believe in empowering each patient with education and understanding. I want to help you prevent dental problems, and quickly and comfortably work through the problems you may be experiencing now.
I graduated from the University of Colorado School of Dentistry in 1999 with honors. While I am a general dentist, my areas of professional interest include dental implants and endodontics. I have been practicing in The Dalles, Oregon since 2004.
