When I was younger, I wanted to go into something with the sciences, but I wasn’t really sure. My community had a dentist that I was a patient in their practice, and he loved his job. He loved everything about his work, so I spent a summer working in his practice, and I loved it.
I fell in love with it. His patients loved him, and he loved his patients, so it made me want to do dentistry, so that’s how I got here. So the most rewarding part for me in dentistry is patient care, so I love the opportunity to be able to help a patient to move through whatever fears or anxieties they have, and be happy about their smile at the end, the way their teeth look, and more importantly, the way they feel about the work that’s been done to them, that they’ve received ultimate care, and they feel as if this is a second home for them when it comes to taking care of their health, so that for me is the icing on the cake.

It is a rare opportunity to walk into a business where everyone is always consistently kind and compassionate. I feel like staff listen and hear me when I ask or say something, it is addressed it directly and openly. I have never dreaded walking into an appointment, in fact I look forward to going because I always come out feeling uplifted and well cared for. Here is one business where old fashion manners, respect and caring for others are still in full swing! Many thanks to everyone, behind the scenes as well as the front line!
