With 37 years of experience in dentistry, I am passionate about helping patients achieve and maintain their best oral health. I enjoy using my knowledge and experience to help patients maximize their dental benefits while ensuring they receive the highest level of care and the best possible experience.
One of the most rewarding parts of my career is building lasting relationships with our dental family. I love getting to know our patients, helping them feel comfortable, and seeing their smiles and confidence grow over the years.
Outside the office, my wife and I enjoy traveling and taking cruises whenever we have the opportunity. Together, we have a blended family of 10 children, ranging in age from 24 to 32, and we are proud grandparents to three wonderful grandchildren, ages 6 to 12. Family, travel, and caring for others are at the heart of who I am, and I strive to bring that same warmth and dedication to every patient I meet.
