A little about me

"I suppose that you could say I create beautiful smiles for a living. That may be true, but I've always really felt like I change people’s lives. The work I do is as important as many medical procedures and certainly as important as most cosmetic ones. I know this is so because I have patients who have told me they felt better physically and emotionally and some whose self-esteem was greatly improved through orthodontics.

"It's important that both children and adults feel relaxed and comfortable with their orthodontist. People will do important activities such as brushing their teeth if it's fun, so we do all we can to make everyone feel at home.

"I believe the positive experiences our child and adult patients enjoy in our office encourage them to take an active role in taking good care of their smiles for the rest of their lives."

Committed to the special needs of smiles of all ages

"My education provided me with the background I needed to start creating beautiful smiles for my patients. I am uniquely qualified because I have experience as a general dentist, too. That experience has proven invaluable to my patients and me."

Staying in touch with his peers

"My professional associations are a way to learn new techniques and keep abreast of the latest technology. But, the other incentive to professional associations is the knowledge that something I may contribute will help put a beautiful, straight smile on the face of a child in another part of the country whom I’ll never meet. That gives me great satisfaction."

Teaching others the art of beautiful smiles
