I was born and raised in rural northern CA and have worked as a dentist in Sacramento and Orange County CA for the past 16 years.  I began as an associate for the first 5 years of my career and then became an owner in 2013 of a large 2M multi-specialty practice for 4 years.  I sold that office and moved to Orange County and purchased the office I currently own.   My wife and I just purchased a house in Flower Mound, TX and will be moving there within the year.  My wife's entire family is from Texas and live in Southlake, TX and part of my family live in Argyle, TX.  I am planning on selling my office in CA and then moving to Texas to work as an associate right away, or purchase a practice.  I perform most procedures, and I have been placing implants since 2013 and prefer the Straumann system.  I usually refer out molar endo, but perform periodontal flap surgeries including osseous surgery; however, I do not go near gingival graft procedures.
