  I provide complete family dental care for patients from age 3 up. I feel it is very important for the patient to have a good honest relationship with their dentist. I want the patient to feel comfortable enough to ask me anything pertaining to dentistry. I want patients to feel they had a great dental experience when they come to our office. I think compassion is very important in dentistry. I love meeting new people every day and hearing alittle about their life story.
