“I truly enjoy working alongside my dad as a dentist in the practice where I grew up. Every day, we learn from each other, and he has taught me so much about practicing dentistry through his 35 years of experience. It has been a joy to work with our staff, most of whom have known me since I was born. Providing dental care to our patients has been so rewarding, from those who have been with our practice since the beginning to the new patients we see every day.”
