Meet the East Portland Dental Staff


My practice philosophy is simple: I treat patients like I would like to be treated.

I always try to give patients alternatives when presenting treatment plans. My patients become actively involved in their care, and help to decide what treatment options are best for them.

I have a very caring and loyal staff, and you will see the same friendly faces every time you come into the office. We make every effort to treat patients with respect and on time. I believe my patient's time is just as important as my time. If I am running behind, I will personally come out to the waiting room and explain the situation or call you prior to your appointment.
