Why He Was Nominated

Favorite Aspect of Dentistry

“It varies every few months,” he says. He enjoys the technical challenge of periodontal treatment and gum disease, particularly crown-lengthening surgeries.

Philosophy

He sticks to providing optimal dentistry for his patients. When managing
his office, his core aim is to avoid getting too involved in minutiae. “I think it’s best to allow my dental team to manage the front office,” he says. “I manage the dentistry, the vision and the direction in which the practice is heading.”
