"For 45 years, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many unique and interesting people as I have helped to give them happier and healthier lives by providing them gentle and effective dental care. Throughout the years, my patients have become my friends, and the lasting relationships we have created together have guided my commitment to providing the type of care and treatment that I would expect if I were in their position. Because my patients are a part of my family, I have made it my life's aim to be caring, thoughtful, and gentle while I help to give them a lifetime of beautiful and healthy smiles."
