I truly enjoy providing dentistry for my patients! At the end of the day, I feel content and happy that I have chosen this profession. I believe the majority of this satisfaction comes from making patients feel comfortable and exceeding their expectations. My patients describe me as gentle, caring and thorough. I focus on treating the whole patient and not just their teeth.
Some of my hobbies include: snowboarding, rollerblading, computers and sailing. I love to play basketball and enjoy traveling.
