I believe in the dignity of each person as a unique individual who deserves healthcare without compromise.

My treatment advice focuses on longevity, esthetics, comfort, and future sustainability. I respect patient desires and understand budget.

I have been in Advanced Restorative Dentistry for 40 years. I strive for excellence in my technical craft but take more pride in my ability to understand people. I am concerned that the ever-increasing dependence on technology threatens the soul of medicine. Machinery is an adjunct to, NOT a replacement for, a doctor’s ability to, in the words of Bernard Lown, MD, “detect the unshed tear and hear the un-uttered sigh”.

Expense does not equate to excellence. Life presents unique circumstances which bring a sharing of joy and sorrow. It is my belief that there is an appropriate plan for everyone, and a strategy is available to overcome any and all obstacles.

We’re privileged to live at this time. It was not too long ago that the suffering of tooth aches plagued everyone from Elizabeth I to George Washington. Today we can achieve a maintainable level of health which was unavailable to the kings, queens, and nobility of the not-too-distant past.

I am aware that my philosophy of patient care is not appropriate for everyone. I do not let constraints influence treatment decisions. Personal, patient family situations, and budget are respected, but it is my professional obligation not to pre-judge and limit options. I choose to use time as a variable so that I can deliver therapies over comfortable time frames that do not hinder other areas of life.

I enjoy dentistry- it is both my profession and my hobby. I look forward to helping you obtain the level of health that you desire and deserve through whatever means you deem appropriate.
