It has been immensely rewarding to see what a difference a small change in someones smile can make. Over the past 20 years, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know so many patients, learning about their lives and interests, and listening to the stories they have to tell. It has always been, and continues to be, my focus to make each patient feel at home when he or she comes to me for treatment, and I work hard to give my patients the care and attention they deserve. I have been voted a 'Top Dentist' by Hartford Magazine every year since 2008 and am a certified Invisalign provider.
My education in dentistry has provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience, and continuing my education allows me to provide my patients with more options and better results. I frequently attend dental education courses, including those sponsored by the Hartford Dental Society, of which I am currently the Board Treasurer. I am also an active member of the Farmington Valley Dental Series study group, the American Dental Association, and the Connecticut Dental Association.
Originally from Rockford, IL, I have lived in Farmington, CT since 1995. My husband, Ron, and I have three children and an energetic black Labrador. I love to read and garden, but when I am not working, I am usually attending one of my kids sporting events or acting as a chauffeur to practice or school events. During the summer months, our family spends time camping on a small lake in New Hampshire.
