Inspired by Family and Mentors
I was originally inspired to pursue a career in dentistry by my father. While life ultimately led him down a different career path, I decided to pick up where he left off. While at NYU College of Dentistry, I met many mentors who pushed me to pursue a higher standard of care. I will continue to learn and strive for excellence. I hope to make both my family and mentors proud!
Experience and Expertise
I’ve been practicing dentistry for over five years, focusing on esthetics, TMD, and full mouth rehabilitation. While I handle everyday treatments like fillings, crowns, and root canals, my passion lies in combining science and artistry to restore function and create confident smiles.
A Different Approach to Dentistry
What sets our practice apart is our commitment to treating more than just teeth—we treat people. By staying up to date with the latest research and innovations, I use a medical model of care that looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms.
What I Love About My Work
For me, dentistry is about more than procedures. It’s about helping someone get out of pain, rediscover their confidence, or feel proud of their smile again. I also genuinely enjoy learning—whether through continuing education, advanced training, or mentorship—and I’m always striving to bring the best care possible to my patients.
Education, Training, and Recognition
I’m proud to be a graduate of the Kois Center in Seattle, Washington, and to hold the title of Fellow from Implant Pathway. I’m also an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), and the Kois Center.
Patient-Centered Philosophy
Every smile tells a story, and I believe in helping patients choose the one they want to share. Some want to regain the smile they once had, while others dream of a smile they’ve never had before. My role is to guide, listen, and provide honest advice—what I call “ethical esthetics.” Veneers and advanced treatments can be wonderful options, but I always encourage exploring less invasive solutions first.
Giving Back to the Community
Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to helping those in need. Each year, I’ve donated full treatments to deserving patients, often announced on Mother’s Day, and I’ve also provided free care to individuals who didn’t have the means to move forward with treatment. For me, dentistry is a way to serve the community as much as it is a profession.
Life Outside the Office
When I’m not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling for continuing education, or playing music. I’m a jazz enthusiast and love playing the upright bass. And, if you ever catch me speaking Spanish, there’s a good chance you’ve got a toothache—I save most of my Spanish for those moments!
