I would like to welcome you to my practice. I love what I do because I get to help people every day. Our office is unusual in that we treat a large range of ages from newborns to eighty years old. It’s inspiring to interact with people from all walks of life and experiences. I enjoy being in a setting where I can get to know my patients at a personal level.

Before I became an orthodontist, I earned my BS in Biology from George Washington University. I then attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where I received my DMD. I received my Certificate in Orthodontics and MS in dentistry from University of Alabama at Birmingham. I had the unique opportunity of performing a Surgical Orthodontic Fellowship at the Institute of Reconstructive Surgery at NYU Medical Center to become a Craniofacial Orthodontist. Most orthodontists complete two to three years of residency training whereas I received four years with the last year entirely focused on surgical orthodontics to treat patients born with congenital facial anomalies. Although most of my work involves creating great smiles for people who don’t need any type of surgical assistance, my extended training makes it possible for me to help those with particularly difficult cases.

I continue to take courses in order to learn about the most recent orthodontic developments because I believe in providing the most up-to-date, proven treatments available.
