He stays active by surfing, snowboarding and playing beach volleyball and basketball. “I became interested in the field of dentistry, specifically orthodontics, because I wanted to be able to help patients of all ages achieve healthy, beautiful smiles that can improve their self-image and increase their confidence. Ever since I started practicing, I have made a commitment to provide patients with the highest quality of care possible. I use only the best, proven orthodontic solutions and recommend them based on my patients’ individual needs. Equally important, I always provide patients with the focused, unhurried care they deserve. I enjoy getting to know my patients over the course of their treatment, which makes their visits a fun and positive experience. “I always keep in mind that orthodontic treatment is usually new to patients. Because of this, I take the time to explain everything to my patients and answer their questions so they are fully informed and confident with their care.”
