I believe oral health is an essential part of whole-body wellness, and I strive to help every patient feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their care.
Outside the office, I enjoy this beautiful life with my husband, who is both a nurse and musician, and our son--they are my world. I love karaoke, flowers, and good food, and Japan is my favorite place to visit. I also enjoy listening to podcasts that help me continue learning and growing, both personally and professionally.
A CLEAN & SAFE PRACTICE
We go above and beyond the American Dental Association (ADA) and OSHA recommended standards for cleanliness and safety. Before your visit, we disinfect all of our equipment in a designated area with state-of-the-art sterilization technology. We also thoroughly sanitize each room between patients. We worry about the cleanliness of our office so you’ll never have to.
