profile

My area of focus within dentistry includes treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, TMJ and chronic pain, and implant surgeries with emphasis on immediate placement. My interests include the oral-systemic connection, helping patients achieve optimal dental into old age, collaboration with other healthcare providers, and patient education. I have a passion for organizational psychology and helping team members realize their full potential in and out of the office.
