I am experienced, articulate, and comprehensive. Without hesitation, I can say with humility and gratitude that I am able to handle anything that comes my way at the dental office. Detail-oriented could be my middle name. Although my obsessiveness towards perfection can sometimes drive me nuts, it is more frequently an asset that patients notice and appreciate. I feel that I have a good read on patients and am able to respectfully work thru apprehension and anxiety. I call my patients at the end of the day to check in after treatment because I truly think about them after they leave the office. This is also rooted in a deep appreciation for patients entrusting me to take care of them. I am certified in Invisalign, Solea laser use, and have an Oral Conscious Sedation permit. I love dentistry, but do not consume myself with it 24/7 and believe this life balance is what allows me to connect with patients so well.

My faith has always served as a moral compass. I feel that I connect with patients in a genuine and sincere way with respect and confidence. I respect my co-workers and consider all staff to be invaluable colleagues and assets. More than anything, my desire is not not simply collect a paycheck, but also be involved in the community. This is particularly because I attribute my success and happiness to be a direct result of my strong family circle and my involvement in my community since my adolescent years.
