I am passionate about young people and helping them grow into successful citizens of their communities. I get excited when I help someone to blossom as an individual by enhancing his or her smile through orthodontic care. Weve created a family-friendly atmosphere here, where each patient is the focus of individualized and undivided attention.

I am currently attending a two-year post-residency program for practicing orthodontists, as well as numerous other continuing education courses. This benefits my patients by keeping me on the cuttingedge of orthodontic treatments and technology. Also, as an active member of the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists, I have numerous opportunities toadvancemy knowledge of the newest and best in orthodontics.

A native of Miami, Florida, I currently reside in Buffalo with my wife and three children. I love sports and working with young people, so wheneverI am not at work, I enjoy volunteering as a coach with my sons sport teams. I also love spending quality time at home with my wife and children. I am very active in my church.
