About Your Dentist

“In college, I decided to follow in my father's steps and seek a career in dentistry. So, for me, dental care is much more than simply being an ‘engineer of the mouth.’ I love the art of maintaining the integrity, functionality, appearance, and health of the whole oral system. Doing this for my patients is more than a challenge....it is a joyous commitment.”

My Mission

“I am passionate about my profession and every aspect of ensuring your optimal oral health. I want your smile to be your best asset and I am dedicated to providing an empathetic, patient-friendly, and comfortable environment for your visit. I have committed myself to not only learn the needs of individual patients, but the dynamics of the community I serve. I have always been a compassionate person, and I always want to help anyone in need. Since dental problems can damage a person's self-image as well as their health, I look forward to every opportunity to improve my patients' self-esteem and confidence while providing vital information about how to achieve and maintain a beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.”

“My mission is to provide the highest quality of dental care possible, in hopes of allowing my patients to feel confident about their smile and overall health.
