“Having entered the specialty field of endodontics in 1974, I have seen it grow and expand with the development of new technology and materials. It is particularly important to stay ahead of the advancements to provide my patients with the best care possible... I feel that this, in combination with my experience, is a great reassurance to referring dentists that their patients are in good hands.

“I am proud of my accomplishments within the dental and endodontic fields, particularly my involvement with specialty organizations. These groups go above and beyond to promote best practices in dentistry and endodontics — improvements that my patients have experienced over the years.

“You can have all the training and technology at your fingertips, but at the end of the day it is what your patients say about their treatment... and the results they receive... that determines success. It is that subtle finesse that comes from years of experience, and a desire to help every individual I see, that stands behind my work. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient smile because I have helped them feel better.”
