About Me
"'Malocclusion = no problem' - I chose the field of dentistry after completing a very long career survey while in high school. My passion for sciences, physics in particular, and interpersonal relationships guided me to pursue a specialty in Orthodontics. I was treated with dental premolar extractions when I had my braces as a teenager, so I try my absolute best to save every tooth in the mouth whenever possible. I believe everyone deserves a gracefully-aging smile."

My current orthodontist is great
The dentist hardly explains anything. Seems to get an attitude if asked questions. Always has a plan for the next visit yet never follows through. Seems to rush through the appointment.
I love your new Orthodontist super guy I felt he listened to my needs - offered great suggestions & backed-up his suggestions with a lot of information (regarding my Invisalign) I would highly recommend him to friends & family . A
Always a great experience
