Why did you become a dentist?

I chose to commit to a life of dentistry because this field is multi-faceted; It’s art, science, psychology, education and communication. I can directly impact my patient’s oral health with my hands while also developing a relationship through personable communication and kind and patient education. The mouth is arguably the gateway to bacteria in our mouth and body and it’s important to me that my patients understand the importance of optimal oral health. Through my skill set, personality and demeanor, I aim to provide a pleasant, efficient and stress free environment for my little ones and their parents.
