It is a real joy and privilege to be part of a profession that can help people to live better lives. Each person comes to me with specific expectations and concerns. It’s my responsibility to learn what the individual wants, to understand their clinical needs, and to determine the best way to deliver the results the person deserves: functional, stable, and beautiful, and make the process worry-free. Professionally and personally, I enjoy the diversity of my days, the challenges I encounter, and the wonderful people I spend time with. Turing a situation from one of fear and apprehension to one of calm and relief is one of the most rewarding aspects of what I do every day. It is fulfilling to be able to make a difference in a person’s life, whether it be the immediate relief of pain, education on how to improve oral health, or delivering long-term benefits of a smile makeover. As a dentist, I use my skills to make a positive change in people’s lives, striving to exceed their expectations in a caring and compassionate manner. I look forward to the opportunity to do the same with you. I grew up in Arthur, Illinois, and attended Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where I received my Bachelor of Science in 1987. Dental school came next, at Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, where I obtained my Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) in 1991. Following dental school, I practiced general dentistry in Greenwood, Indiana, before establishing my practice in Tuscola in 1997.
