My profession is a big part of who I am as a person. I express myself in what I do, providing gentle orthodontic care that helps each person develop a healthy and beautiful smile. When a person’s teeth are straight and properly aligned, not only do they have a more attractive smile, but their bite is improved, which means less long-term health issues as a result of malocclusion. I’m not only improving smiles, but a person’s health, too!

I’ve been practicing orthodontics for many years, and yet am still enthralled by the transformation that occurs with each patient. Not only does their appearance gradually change, but each person changes, too. Watching a person move from being ashamed of their teeth and hiding their smile to being confident in their appearance and smiling and laughing with confidence, never grows old. I see that every day. It’s incredible!

I love building relationships with each person in my care, based on trust and respect. I want them to know they are always welcome and safe, and I want them to feel comfortable talking with me, too. I enjoy spending my days creating smiles that result in positive changes for people who’ve become my friends.
