I earned my dental degree at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, and, in 1994, returned to my native California to complete my General Practice Residency at the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial V.A. Medical Center in Loma Linda. I am an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the California Dental Association (CDA), the Tri-County Dental Association (TCDS), Holistic Dental Association, International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) and the International Association of Mercury-Free Dentists (IAMFD). I am past Boardmember of TCDS and am currently on the Peer Review Board.
Providing my patients with the best possible treatment options for their health and self-image is my ultimate goal. A metal-free focus is important to many people who are concerned about their physical health, so I am very conscientious about safe amalgam removal. All dental and aesthetic materials I use have been tested by me for their safety, effectiveness and durability. I continuously take courses on the most current topics and techniques in all aspects of dentistry and consult with health and healing professionals who share my belief that the mouth is the gateway to total health.
