I often get asked the question, “What made you want to become a dentist?” When I was young, I was never afraid of the dentist. I never had the bad experiences that so many of my patients tell me about. After meeting a phenomenal dentist who gave a presentation on how much he loved what he did, I decided dentistry was the career for me. My aim and mission is to provide my patients with the same encounters I had growing up with gentle, caring dentists. Many of those dentists are now my mentors. I want patients to leave the office being awed by service that exceeds their expectations.
