I’m proudly a second-generation dentist. Growing up, my father owned his own dental practice and I was inspired by his passion for the profession and his ability to help patients. Beyond his practice, my dad taught me about the gift of health. Seeing the challenges he constantly overcame as a type 1 diabetic, he instilled in me to value good health as one of life’s greatest assets. Although he passed away during my senior year of dental school, my dad was my champion and my guide. He taught me that I was at dental school to learn the fundamental skills, but my practice of dentistry would be a lifelong learning journey. Over the course of countless continuing education hours, I’ve focused on the areas where my patients experienced the most misdiagnosis: TMJ, sleep, airway, and feeding (for infants and children). Along the way, I’ve also become dual board certified through the American Board of Craniofacial Pain and the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine, further highlighting my dedication to the highest standards of care.
I’m committed to preventative care for all ages and especially early interventions for children. In some cases, care needs the support of multiple providers, and I advocate for collaborative care and integrated treatment strategies. It’s my goal to provide my patients with care that provides long term health. It is my sincere pleasure to partner with my patients on improving their wellness, and I hope to see you soon.
