“Dentistry is a rapidly advancing field from a technical perspective, but the best part of being a dentist is getting to know our wonderful patients and serving their needs. I often get to meet enjoyable and interesting people who make my job a pleasure. Many patients appreciate being involved in the process of restoring their oral health and transforming their smiles. I strive to involve them in this, and they appreciate the respect I give them. It helps that I have been drawn to artistic pursuits throughout my life. For example, I apply my training and experience in painting and drawing to transform my patients’ smiles into ideal natural beauty. I look forward to serving my community every day. Gentleness, kindness, personalized attention to detail, and comfort are my goals for every patient, every visit.”
