What I enjoy most about dentistry is restoring a patient’s oral health, one smile at a time. I do this by making patients comfortable through open dialog, empathy and quality care.
Outside of the office, I spend time with family friends and my three Siberian Huskies. I enjoy traveling, exploring historical sites, experiencing new cultures, walking at various dog parks, reading and hockey. I am certified in Jikiden Reiki and practice meditation. If I wasn’t a dentist, I would be an author because storytelling ignites the imagination and opens the mind to all possibilities.
