Practicing dentistry is something I have always wanted to do.Ialways admired my dad as a kid, and working with him for almost a decade only heightenedthat admiration.I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, and the friendships that Ive built with my patients and their families are the real day-to-day reward that this career has provided.
Early on, I decided to focus on working with patients to figure out a plan that would improve or maintain theirquality of life.Once we figure that out, we take the appropriate steps to meet their goals.
Before starting my career at Suncook Dental, I studied at Villanova University, where I received a degree in comprehensive science (basically, a degree in chemistry and biology). I trained as a dental technician for two years under the tutelageof certified dental technicians Armand and Michael Auger, and earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.
I am a member of several professional associations that provide opportunities for continuing education, including the American Dental Association, the New Hampshire Dental Society, the Massachusetts Dental Society, the Greater Concord Dental Society (of which I have served aspast president twice), the New England Dental Society (of which I have served as president and board member), and the Capital Area study club; and I serve on the Allied Dental Education board at the New Hampshire Technical Institute.
What I love most about dentistry is that is it the ultimate fusion of science, medicine, and art. Artistry has always been a big part of my life in the form of drawing, playing musical instruments, and music composition. As a dentist, I thoroughly enjoy integrating my artistic influences in the treatment I provide for my patients.
I am a proud native of Goffstown NH. I received my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences, and graduated Summa Cum Laude at the University of NH. Next, I went on to receive my dental degree, and graduated Magna Cum Laude at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where I was also granted membership with the dental honors society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. Shortly after graduation, my family and I relocated to Bangor, Maine where I completed a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at Penobscot Community Health Center.
During my time in residency, not only did I enjoy gaining more clinical experience, working with great faculty, but I particularly enjoyed getting to know the community in Bangor, while caring for their diverse dental needs. Now having relocated back to my home state, I look forward to getting to know the greater Suncook community and building long-lasting relationships while committing to provide a high standard of quality care to people of all ages.
Being involved in professional organizations is important to me. I am currently a member of the American Dental Association, The Academy of General Dentistry, Maine Dental Association, and NH Dental Society. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy my time being a husband, and father of two teens, playing a variety of musical instruments, summiting mountains, cycling, and running.
