About Our Doctor

“Before becoming an endodontist, I practiced general dentistry for several years in the Navy. In many ways, my experiences as a general dentist are essential to my perspective, approach and, ultimately, my capability as an endodontist.

“As a Navy dentist, I treated thousands of people from a wide range of backgrounds and with a broad spectrum of conditions. I believe this helped make me a better diagnostician. It also drove home exactly how challenging general dentistry is and gave me the utmost respect for dentists and what they do every day. And it instilled in me, I think, a deeper understanding that my role as a specialist is simply and solely to support your general dentist and protect your oral health.

“At the same time, my experience as an endodontist taught me that compassion and commitment are the keys to great care. Only by genuinely caring and personally investing myself in patient care can I provide the excellent results that you deserve and your dentist demands.
