What is the one thing that your clients should know about you?

I am very conscientious and always looking out for the best interests of my patients. Everything we do
with care strategies and technologies, such as digital radiography, the WAND, Sta System (single tooth anesthesia) and digital scanning (no more messy impressions) is for the patient’s benefit. Our ultimate goal – always – is to achieve optimal dental health for patients in a caring, conservative manner.


What brings you the most satisfaction in your work?

I love welcoming patients into our “dental family.” Some of our team members have been with me for more than 20 years, and many patients, too! Our team does a great job of educating patients about how their dental health impacts their systemic health and well-being. Seeing a patient’s trust develop is very rewarding.
