“I love the challenge of my job and appreciate the scientific and artistic skills necessary to be successful. I understand what it feels like to lack confidence in your smile. As a child, I broke a front tooth and was also in braces. After I was treated to repair the damage, I regained positive self-esteem, which inspired me to go to Dental School and provide that same sense of wellness to others. I am committed to helping you get your life back with a confident smile. Complex rehabilitations are my specialty and I look forward to working with you.
When I am not practicing dentistry, I enjoy playing pickleball, tennis, golf, skiing, and exploring exciting travel destinations.”
“I deliver world-class oral health care with superior customer service. My goal is to help patients get their lives back who have delayed treatment for fear of judgment or embarrassment. I am a Board-Certified Prosthodontist who specializes in complex oral rehabilitation. My team and I treat every individual in a professional and courteous manner. Life is too short to not have the smile you deserve!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you.”
