I've built my practice by delivering personalized patient care. I feel as though orthodontic treatment is not just about establishing a beautiful smile but also about the relationships we build with our patients and their families. I make every effort to make each patient feel important, comfortable and special while they are in my care.

Outside the office, my time is spent with my daughter, Madison. We enjoy our time together going to the movies, swimming and vacationing.

Professional Associations

I truly enjoy being a member of several professional organizations. At meetings I am able to discuss with my peers new techniques, solutions for difficult cases and, in general, build my base of orthodontic knowledge. It is important for me to attend courses in continuing education in order to stay up to date with the latest advancements in orthodontics. This enables me to provide the most modern, effective care for my patients.
