“I have always enjoyed working with children and am delighted to make that the focus of my daily profession. Children fall under a wide spectrum of personalities, behavior and individual needs and it’s my goal to relate to each patient. When it comes to dentistry, children often have a more challenging time adjusting to and comprehending this environment. I strive to help both my pediatric patients and their parents feel secure and comfortable. In order to enhance my specialty qualifications, I stay actively involved in several dental societies.”
