I love working in a profession where my number-one job is to make a person feel better about themselves, and make them healthier at the same time. It has been my goal over the past 20 years to work with patients on a personal level and help them understand and see the benefits of orthodontic treatment. It can make wonderful changes in peoples lives!

The diversity of the patients we see makes this such a wonderful profession as well. We work with young patients to help them with problems that can adversely affect their growth; teenage patients to help them solve problems that help to raise their self-esteem and give them better health in the future, and adult patients to help correct problems that they have always wanted to address, or problems that have recently come up. It gives me great joy to see the positive impact that we have on peoples lives.

My team and I truly have our patients best interests at heart. We respect our patients feelings, time, and point of view. Everything we do is for the benefit of our patients, from being encouraging and patient, to listening to all of a patients concerns, to celebrating together once treatment is finally complete.

As a dentist and orthodontist, I feel I can best help patients by having the latest information and understanding the latest technology to give them the most up-to-date treatments available. I spend a lot of time on general dental continuing education (as well as orthodontic continuing education) because I feel it is important to be able to communicate with a patients dentist so that we can work together seamlessly to give a patient the latest and best available therapies. I really enjoy all the aspects of the field of dentistry, and while my field is limited to orthodontics, having the opportunity to experience all the types of dental continuing education is truly a blessing to me. I feel it benefits our patients tremendously when our focus can be their overall dental health.

I love being part of organized dentistry because it is a profession that continues to excel at advancing effectiveness of treatment. It is one of the few areas in healthcare that continues to become more patient-centered over time. I enjoy working with my peers to continue to advance the study and practice of orthodontics for generations to come.

The Aiken area is a wonderful community in which I have had the opportunity to live most of my life. I can think of no better environment in which to live and raise a family. My wife Lisa and I have been married for 20 years. We have three children, Elizabeth, Wes, and Rosie, and a black lab named Dixie. With three active kids, my free time is usually spent at one of their sporting events, though I do make time for hunting, fishing, and spending quality time with my wife.

It has been my honor to practice orthodontics in the Aiken area for the past 15 years. I strive to create a positive experience for my patients, making them feel comfortable and welcome. I feel that orthodontics is a great way to challenge myself while making a difference in another persons life. I love seeing the joy that each transformation brings to my patients and the boost of confidence they get from their new smiles.

I regularly attend continuing education meetings and courses that keep me abreast of the latest developments in technology and orthodontic care. They allow me to keep up with state-of-the-art techniques in orthodontics which, in turn, allow me to create a better patient experience.

I have lived in Aiken my entire life, and am proud to call it my home. My wife Vicky and I have two young boys, Jack and Lagree, and Annie, our yellow lab. I am an avid sportsman, enjoying fishing and hunting, as well as a big fan of University of South Carolina sporting events. In addition to being involved in local and state dental societies, I attend many church functions and volunteer my time with Give Kids a Smile and at local school dental screenings.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
