Because my calling is to be the best that I can be as a dentist, I am constantly pursuing excellence in knowledge, skills, and technology for the ultimate benefit of my patients. I am presently a mentor at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry, where we are exposed to all phases of dentistry. I am especially involved in using the CEREC® CAD/CAM technology for single-visit crown and bridge creation, as well as 3D X-rays and CT scans.
My training at the Pankey Institute elevated my knowledge and skill levels to enable me to strive for and more frequently achieve excellence in my patient care and relationships. In addition, my involvement with the CEREC doctors and Scottsdale Center for Dentistry has allowed me to associate and improve myself with dentists of a very high caliber. As a consultant with the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners, I am trained to evaluate patient treatment in response to claims of dental malpractice or lack of standard of care.

As a RDH, I am dedicated to enhancing oral health and patient well-being.

Witnessing their progress and the improvement in their oral health over the years is truly heartwarming.
