My approach to care

My care philosophy/approach to care is to ensure patient comfort and understanding throughout every appointment. Dental care can be a frightening and confusing time, and I find it crucial to create a safe environment for my patients where they can feel comfortable to ask any questions that they may have and that all their concerns can be addressed.

Why I went into healthcare

I became a dentist because I want to help increase the access to quality, affordable dental care to communities in need. Growing up in a medically and dentally underserved community, I witnessed firsthand how the lack of access to proper healthcare can drastically affect the lives of marginalized communities.
