I have been at the service of patients in the Bay Area for over 10 years. It is a city and community I truly love. For those of you who have never met me, I wanted to share my personal and professional approach to dentistry. I call it my philosophy.

First and foremost, I strongly believe in giving my patients the best and most gentle dental care. I believe dentistry is a marriage of art and science that must be performed without pain or discomfort to patients. As a practitioner, I hold this principle dearly and expect all my staff, hygienists and associate dentists to abide by the same principle. I am very proud of my track record as a 'gentle and painless' doctor regardless of the procedure.

I also believe patients have the right to understand the prognosis of exams. I always take the time to clearly explain what conditions or problems are present, what the consequences of not treating these problems may be and what options are available to patients. The options I present are plainly laid out, without any bias or ulterior motives. I respect and listen to my patients because I know patients will only come back for treatment if they feel their needs are understood and met.

Finally, I believe my patient's smiles represent my practice and skills. I live in the community I serve and know the dental care I provide is a reflection of me. I am proud of the work I do and want my patients to boast the most beautiful and healthy smiles. I will without question refine any work that does not meet my sense of esthetics or restorative standards. Many of my patients have social outings that require impeccable and breathtaking smiles. My patients come first.
