About Your Dentist

"A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever." – Dale Carnegie

My Mission

"My goal is to provide high quality and compassionate care for the broadest imaginable range of dental care while building meaningful relationships over the course of a lifetime. As a general dentist, what I enjoy most is being able to transform my patients' lives by giving them a new smile, helping them regain confidence in themselves, and providing a satisfying dental experience."
