“By combining advanced clinical dentistry with a fun, friendly style, my mission is to make my patients more comfortable than they thought possible. My goal is to create a sound foundation for healthy and beautiful smiles. I believe that building a rapport and facilitating open communication is essential for establishing trust and that taking the time to truly understand each patient’s goals is a key factor for successful treatment. I strive to combine ‘big city’ clinical dentistry with ‘small town’ care and communication to help patients feel right at home. No snooty lectures, just clear, understandable explanations and the latest in advanced dentistry. It's the best of both worlds, and it really is something to smile about!”
