When I set out to be an orthodontist I had one goal...to exceed my patients' expectations. To do this I have always felt the patients and doctors have to work as a team. "Teamwork Creates Winning Smiles" has always been my motto, and I believe in the team philosophy so much that my whole office is decorated in autographed sports memorabilia. Over the last 20 years I have had the privilege of treating over 10,000 patients and giving them the smile they have always dreamed about. Orthodontics allows me to change the way a person feels about themselves. This profession is not only about creating healthy teeth and gorgeous smiles but it is also about giving them the confidence to do things that they may have never done before. It's not only about changing appearances, but changing lives. I look forward to meeting with you and your family.

Continuing Education

In order to give my patients the ultimate care I am continually learning and staying on top of the newest and best orthodontic techniques. By attending numerous seminars including the Damon Forum and AAO National Orthodontic meetings, I am able to give my patients the most efficient treatment and state of art care they deserve. Technology is always changing and orthodontics is no different. My goal is to provide my patients with the best and newest techniques to give them a smile they love in the shortest amount of time possible. I also continue to share knowledge with my dental peers by lecturing at numerous dental societies and study groups.
