Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I listen to my patients and value the patient as a whole person, not just another mouth. I put emphasis on the patient-doctor relationship and empower the patients to have control over their own oral health.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

I specialize in all aspects of dentistry, however my top three are root canals, extractions, and crowns.

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud of the quality and integrity of the dental team we have assembled to serve our communities' dental needs. We have an amazing dental team who have great energy and are happy and excited to be working together.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I enjoy treating all aspects of dentistry, from small fillings to large full cosmetic cases. The enjoyment I get from my interactions with my patients is the most rewarding aspect of my career.
