I love being an orthodontist. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, and the friendships that I've built with my patients and their families are one in a million. It has always been my focus to make each patient feel at-home when they come to me for treatment and I work hard to give my patients the attention they deserve.Education/ExperienceMy education in dentistry and orthodontics has provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience.
