“I pride myself on providing comprehensive, patient-centered care using the most up-to-date equipment for patients of all ages. I strongly believe in conservative and preventative treatment and try to present information and treatment options in a way that’s easy for patients to understand. I believe that dentistry can and should be an enjoyable and pain-free experience for all, and I strive to provide that for my patients.
