I graduated in 1991 from the College of Dentistry at the University of Oklahoma. Before that, I was in the United States Air Force serving as a crew member aboard the Boeing E3 AWACS aircraft. I graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1982.
I have taken on a second, and equally passionate, endeavor as a published author! You Deserve A White Smile is my introductory publication that I hope will help readers understand and appreciate some of the intricacies of the dental field and the importance of a clean, healthy smile. With my decades of experience, I have become somewhat of a Subject Matter Expert so I hope my book will be equal measures informative and entertaining.
In it, I chronicle some of the experiences Ive had with patients who waited a very long time to get the care they need either by avoiding care, treatment or by seeing the wrong dentist or provider. You will learn how to choose the best possible provider and what it means when you do. A great doctor and oral health care professional could really change your life and make all the difference in the world.

I have never felt so welcome and secure in professionalism until I called this dental office. From scheduling with Theresa, accommodating our schedules for after hours and weekend appointments to the dental care itself. When I walked in they had a welcome gift for me and introduced me to the whole staff with a tour. This practice is doing everything right. From a compassionate healthcare provider to easy professional human interactions. Thank you for taking care of me and my family.

The staff was awesome from the minutes we arrived. They spent lots of time getting to know us, and they took their time explaining everything and they gave us the opportunity to ask questions, they didn't rush us in and out. I highly recommend Smile Dental and my dental hygiene Tina and Jennifer was excellent.
