Dentistry defines much of my life. I enjoy the successes we achieve every daysome large, some small. It has been my joy to continue to provide care for so many people of all ages. The appreciation that our patients express gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

My experience in dentistry began 45 years ago. Working with my dentist father from age 14, I enjoyed the artistic and mechanical challenges and providing essential care for people. After all these years, I still enjoy dentistry as much as my first day and feel gratified to know that Ive helped so many people.

My team and I aim to create a calm, supportive atmosphere and provide an exceptional patient experience.

With open, respectful communication, my goal is to work towards establishing healthy oral habits and creating beautiful smiles.
