I feel very fortunate to be a dentist. It is satisfying to help someone by immediately relieving pain or performing a cosmetic procedure that improves a patient’s smile. I enjoy forming long-term patient relationships — it’s fun to see how patients’ lives change over the years!

Education and Continuing Education

Prior to becoming a dentist, I graduated from Parkland College with a degree in dental hygiene in 1984. I graduated from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry in 1993 with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. While in dental school, I received the William Starek Award in Endodontics, American Society of Pediatric Dentistry Award, and Academy of General Dentistry Award.

Although my formal education is complete, I believe that a continuing education benefits all dentists and patients! I regularly attend classes and seminars through professional dental organizations in order to keep up with the most advanced methods and technologies. I am also certified in Lumineers®, Invisalign® and Cerec same day crowns.
