Being a dentist means I am able to help people of all ages and backgrounds understand the importance of maintaining healthy dentition. We all need optimal oral health in order to talk, chew, and look presentable in public, at school, and in our professional lives!
I am passionate about caring for patients as I would a family member: with love, respect, kindness, and empathy. I know each patient has specific desires and concerns, so I really listen and encourage them to tell me what they want out of care. By listening without judgment, establishing open and trusting communication, and genuinely caring for a patient, we build a relationship. Its essential that people know I dont just fix teeth;I care about the whole person and want to help them succeed.
It is an honor to meet and spend time with people from different backgrounds, at different points in their lives. Each person has stories and experiences to share, and I enjoy learning who my patients are.
My team members are the cornerstone of our practice. They are intelligent, capable, compassionate people. Each enjoys making sure our patients feel relaxed and safe during visits, and providessupport and encouragement toensureeverything goes smoothly. My team is passionate about oral health and helping others develop smiles they love.
Becoming a dentist means committing to constantlearning. Oral healthcare is a fast-evolving field. The advances in techniques, materials, and technology lead to more accurate diagnoses, more comfortable treatment, and stronger results.
I am committed to providing my patients with leading-edge dentistry, so each year I complete many continuing-education courses. This ensures I am uptodate with the latest advances and current on changes. My patients can be suretheyre receiving the best care.
I volunteer with the 203/204 Early Childhood EducationResource Fair, toprovidedental exams on the SmileSquad Mobile Dental clinic. I also volunteer my services at the Ann Reid Early Childhood Center, where I speakwith parents about dentistry. Ive volunteered with Care Network, to providefree dental services to the community, as well.
When Im not caring for patients or volunteering with various dental outreach programs, I can often be found volunteering at my church. I also enjoy bowling andphotography, and love reading on a variety of different topics.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
It is my joy to help people however I can in life. Working at Pleasant Touch Dental has taught me how to embrace not only the roles I assume, but also the very people who walk through our door each and every day. Being able to meet the unique needs of patients is so fulfilling and a great lesson in thoughtfulness and understanding. There isn't a day that goes by where we aren't kept on our toes and ready to meet new challenges!
I assist the office through the week however my help is needed. I often work with insurance and treatment plans, but you can also find me assisting in operatories and occassionally working at the front desk!
