About

I’ve been helping people take care of their oral health for 20 years so far, and I’m still just as passionate and probably more than I was when I first started! When I see someone for an appointment I don’t want to “just scale” their teeth, I want to have a connection with that particular person at that time and get to know them, understand where they are in terms of comfort level at the dental office and also have some really good laughs (yes that’s possible in a dental office!). I’ve helped people that have claustrophobia, dental anxiety, going through very stressful life events to people that just hate having their teeth scaled get completely comfortable in coming in for their appointments. Many of the people that I have seen for the last 15 to 20 years actually love coming into the office for our semi-annual dose of laughs and “catch up” time. I’ve come to realize that you can’t win every case of periodontal disease but if you can keep people from dreading going to the dental office and provide them with great continuous care then you’ve done a great thing. 

​When I’m not connecting with or having laughs with my patients at the office you can find me with my family and my pooch Coco. I also love to kayak, workout, play tennis or shoot hoops and I enjoy keeping up with the latest in dentistry. Just remember, when you see me for an appointment that you’re not just another patient to me and in a time where staff come and go I’ll be here for you.
