I feel a great sense of privilege knowing that I have the opportunity be a positive influence in my patients’ lives. Becoming an Orthodontic Specialist has been as rewarding as it has been humbling. Treating people is a privilege that I treasure, and I believe it is important to continue to be a student of the profession. After my own experience with orthodontic treatment, I came to appreciate the unique blend of art and science involved in creating a patient’s new smile. Because each patient is different, this profession provides me with the opportunity to think creatively when choosing treatment options to address my patient's unique needs. I am so grateful for the connections I make, and for the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. Smile ~ Happy looks good on you!
