Educated for a Lifetime of Caring
I received my education at some outstanding schools. And while I learned an awful lot about how to straighten teeth and make beautiful smiles, nothing could have prepared me for the education I receive every day in the office from my own patients. There is always something to learn from each and every individual.

Georgetown University School of Dentistry, 1987 (Summa Cum Laude & Valedictorian)

Exchanging Knowledge with His Colleagues
Part of what I love about being an orthodontist is being able to give my patients the latest and greatest treatments. With my extensive involvement in professional associations, my patients can rest assured they'll always get the most up-to-date, comfortable case.

 

 

 

Always the Student

I'll never stop learning. As long as there are new advances in orthodontic dentistry, there are new benefits I can share with my patients.
