About
Bio
After graduating from
Boston University in 1999 with a Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree, I
relocated to sunny South Florida and became the Chief Resident at Nova
Southeastern University and earned my AEGD(Advanced Education General Dentistry).
I have enjoyed
volunteering and teaching other Dentists who volunteer, as well as residents,
at Community Smiles Dental Clinic, where I served on the board of directors for
over ten years. I also appeared on CBS
News with Cynthia Demos to discuss new technology in Dentistry.
As a committed Dentist, I take pride in my
work while providing excellent service for my patients. I continuously study
different products to help increase the comfort of each individual treatment. I
love being a dentist and really care about all my patients. I am devoted to
helping as many people as I can. My goal is to educate my patients to understand the source of their problems not just treat them.
