Bio
I was a dental techincan before I became a dentist. After practicing 15 years I was introduced to treating patient with obstuctive sleep apnea who could not use there CPAP units. This inspired me and has become a passion. I am now one of the leading dentist treating patients with oral appliances for OSA on the east coast. I continue to expand my horizons in this field and will be getting my diplomate status in 2013 and my office will me getting accredited.
