I love being an orthodontist. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and the friendships that I have built with my patients and their families are priceless. It has always been my focus to make each patient feel at-home when they come to me for treatment and I work hard to give my patients the attention they deserve and the smile they have always dreamed of.

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE

My education in dentistry and orthodontics has provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience. Now, by regularly participating in continuing education, I stay current on the latest technology and orthodontic treatments. My patients deserve the best and continuing education allows me to provide them with more options and greater results. I am a member of several professional associations that provide opportunities for continuing education.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

I am so fortunate to be able to live and practice in my hometown. I really enjoy getting to know my patients and their families and it is such an honor to know that I have made a difference in so many of my patients’ lives. I truly could not ask for a better job and I look forward to getting to know you!
