Over the last ten years of my clinical practice of dentistry, I have found that building patient relationships is foundational in creating a good patient experience. In my opinion, education and communication with patients is more important than performing technical work. Over time as a dentist, my patient relationships have created my foundation for excellence as a provider.

I aspire to become a positive addition to the Tacoma dental community and group of dentists who I revere and admire. Along with being involved with a growing dental clinic, I would like to establish myself as a clinical leader among dentists by adding more clinical education and being involved with the local dental society. My treatment philosophy is based on long term care and doing the right thing at the right time for my patients.

In the last ten years of practice, I have had two children, owned a practice, accrued multiple multidisciplinary CE hours and have achieved my FAGD award (along with others). With this said, I have plans to continuously grow and add value to my patient care. As I write to you, I would like to take the time to thank you for allowing me to improve your oral health. I look forward to meeting and spending time with each and every one of you.
