Most Memorable Patient:

“One of my denture patients in dental school loved his new denture so much that he mounted his old one in a display case and gave it to me as a gift to remember our appointments together.”

Philosophy:

“We are passionate about serving people. As a wise faculty member once said, ‘We are not in the teeth business serving people but rather in the people business serving teeth.’ See through the lens of the patients’ eyes. Compassion, empathy and transparent communication help our patients understand the need for treatment, their treatment options and the pros and cons of each option.”

Post-Pandemic Plans:

“Taking our #pandemicbaby to see the world.”
