As a pediatric dentist, I'm passionate about creating positive, comforting experiences that help children overcome fear and build lifelong healthy habits. I love the opportunity to provide preventive care, educate families, and tailor treatments to each child's unique needs. Building long-term relationships with patients and making dental visits fun are incredibly rewarding, knowing that my work helps shape their oral health and confidence for the future.
I chose to become a pediatric dentist because I believe in creating positive dental experiences for children. Having been apprehensive about visiting the dentist in my own childhood, I understand how fear can impact a young patient's experience. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment to help children feel more at ease during their visit. By instilling good oral health habits early on, I aim to empower children and set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
My profession means more than just treating teeth—it's about guiding children and their families toward healthier, happier futures through preventive care, education, and compassionate support.
My wife and I are all originally from North Carolina and relocated to Texas at the beginning of my residency. This transition has allowed us to stay close as a family while embracing new opportunities in Texas.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy watching Formula 1, spending time with family, traveling, playing video games, and dancing. I also keep my hands busy with watch making, building computers and Lego sets, 3D printing, and repairing things around the house.
