I can truly say my profession is more than just providing dental care—it’s about contributing to my patients' overall health and well-being. Dentistry allows me to not only improve smiles but also enhance the quality of life for the people I serve. I’m passionate about helping my patients achieve optimal oral health and educating them on the importance of preventative care. Whether I’m relieving pain, restoring a smile, or boosting someone’s confidence, I find the work incredibly fulfilling.
It’s rewarding to witness the positive impact good dental care can have on my patients’ overall well-being, and I love being part of a team that supports their health journey. Every patient is unique, and I appreciate the opportunity to tailor care to meet their individual needs. It’s an honor to play a role in improving their health and happiness.
My Experience
I began practicing dentistry more than 25 years ago, after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine with my Doctorate of Medical Dentistry.
I've always been fascinated by the connection between oral health and overall well-being. Dentistry allows me to combine my interests in science and healthcare with my passion for helping others. I love that I can make a direct impact on people's lives by improving their health and confidence through their smiles.
Continuing Education
Continuing education benefits my patients by ensuring that they receive the most up-to-date and effective treatments available. I choose to participate in continuing education because it helps me refine my skills, learn about innovations in the field, and maintain a high standard of care.
I’ve participated in continuing education programs through the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), the International Association for Comprehensive Aesthetics, and several other study groups including Invisalign® Molis Coaching and the Hiossen implant study group. My goal is always to ensure my patients receive the safest, most comfortable, and effective treatments available.

Outside the Office
I am married with two grown kids and three wonderful grandkids. We also have two foster cats, which keep things lively at home.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me spending time with my family or enjoying the outdoors. I love hiking, gardening, and staying active. I am also a big fan of reading and catching up on good books, and of course, taking care of our cats keeps me busy!
