From working as a chef, then a taxi driver to becoming a dental professional its safe to say that I have encountered many kinds of working environments. This has enabled me to become a true people person. My style is very personable and my approach is patient first focused. I seek to make each appointment a good experience for my patients. I have so far demonstrated the ability to build good rapport with my patients on a personal level while maintaining professional integrity. My colleagues would describe me as charming, funny and calming. I am a father of four children who have been the stimulus that motivates myself to work so hard each day.
