Dentists

“I chose to be a dentist because it is a mixture of many things I enjoy in life. Personal interactions and developing relationships are imperative. I like personal interactions with people, I like to work with my hands, and I like the sense of accomplishment when a patient is comfortable and happy with the results of their dental treatment.

“Patients should be treated like family. By being honest and caring during treatment, I develop a relationship of trust and respect with each patient, then everything else falls into place. Besides being happy with their dental work, I hope that patients leave my office happy and feel like they were treated well. I want the experience to feel like they were part of something that’s not just another dental/medical office.”
