So I come from a family of dentists. My father is a periodontist and my grandfather's an orthodontist. So I grew up around dentistry and really got to see how you could really impact people's lives and help people out. It really made an impression on me how, you know, well-liked my father and grandfather were in their communities and all of the good work that they did. You know, fortunately, worked out to where I was able to follow in their footsteps and continue our family tradition of really providing great dentistry for our families and friends and communities.
I want my patients to feel as comfortable as possible and to feel like they're in very good hands. So my favorite part about being with patients is just talking to them and catching up. I really try to make people, despite whatever they may need done, really feel like it's not the end of the world. It's going to be okay, we're going to help you. And pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. It wasn't, you know, as overwhelming as they thought it was going to be, and we really work hard to get through it comfortably and make sure that it's all done properly and done right.
