About Your Dentist

"Be true to your teeth, or they may be false to you."

My Mission

“I believe that proactive education is vital for preventative care and maintaining oral health. I also believe that it is essential to listen to my patients’ questions and concerns so I can fully understand their perspective and most effectively collaborate for a common understanding and a comprehensive treatment plan. A doctor-patient relationship based on honesty and transparency will always result in the most effective strategy for long-term dental health and overall systemic wellbeing.”
