Biography

I have always enjoyed working with kids, so becoming a pediatric dentist was a perfect fit!  Pediatric dentistry is such a special profession and gives me the opportunity to build such strong relationships with both my patients and their families at such a young age and watch them grow into amazing adults.

I firmly believe in educating children about the importance of dental care at a young age, for if they can enjoy the dentist as a child, they are set up for a successful future in their oral health journey.  Being able to help patients improve and maintain their oral health, as well as gain confidence and happiness through their smile is what makes my job so rewarding.

Every child is different, and I take pride in taking the time to learn about each child as the individual they are and discover what works best for them.  There is nothing more satisfying than helping children overcome their fears/anxieties about the dental office and learn that the dentist can be fun!
