Favorites
Besides getting to know your family, my favorite thing is spending time with my husband (an orthodontist) and two children. I also love hockey (VGK), good food, laughing with friends, learning new things, and vacations with sunshine and nature.

I will create positive experiences for your child so that as they grow, they feel comfortable and confident going to the dentist to maintain care. I love working with kids and look forward to getting to know your family!
