There is something so fulfilling about seeing someone’s self-confidence or dignity being restored because we helped them smile! It is a privilege to meet different people, hear their unique stories, and become a small part of their lives.

I come to the clinic each day counting my blessings because I have the most trustworthy and coolest team ever! My staff gives me reason to smile and laugh each morning as we go over every patient we will see that day. There is a long history of colleagues staying for years and hopefully that says something, not only about the work environment but about the ingrained culture to love and care for others generously.

After earning my DMD, I spent three years with the US Air Force. I had the best time ever serving with America’s finest service members. I salute anyone who is both currently serving and have served in the armed forces. I’ve always been a believer that you’re a student for life. I believe dentistry has come a long way in terms of adding comfort and value to people; however, there is always room to grow and be better. I always keep my eyes and ears peeled to know how I can serve my patients better and with greater comfort and ease. Most recently, I’ve participated in continuing education coursework on dental implants and the latest in dental materials.
