My education... I am a 2004 graduate with honors from SUNY Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and a 2005 graduate from the Department of Veterans General Practice Residency. I have also completed hundreds of hours of continuing education in areas such as Implant Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, and Invisalign just to name a few. My practice... I opened my own practice in 2005 after realizing that there were too few practices that were patient-centered. I believe there is more to dentistry than teeth and I really enjoy changing the lives of my patients. There are few rewards greater than allowing someone to smile when they haven’t in years or chew comfortably. I especially love to see when a patient that was once apprehensive, even fearful of going to the dentist, walks into our office happy to be here. Then I know I helped more than just their teeth. My philosophy... I enjoy providing long-lasting, gentle, customized dental care. I love making people’s lives better by creating healthier, more beautiful smiles.
