On the fun and serious side of orthodontics
A Passion for Education
“I loved dental school. I graduated with honors and was elected to the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honorary Dental Society, Alpha Chapter, for scholastic achievement. That was the beginning of my love affair with dentistry. Soon after, I went on to the University of Southern California and received a Masters of Science in orthodontics. Later, I served as Associate Clinical Professor and Director of Clinical Records in the Orthodontic Department of USC. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg.”

“My office has quite a reputation for fun, but we also have a good time outside of the office. My wife, Susie and I are big fans of local sports. In fact, we sponsor or support various local school teams. You’ve probably seen us around. So next game, stop by and say hello.”
“I love to treat kids. They’re great fun. They’re spontaneous and tell you exactly what’s on their minds. To be an orthodontist is one of the most rewarding things I can think of. They are the reason I’m such an advocate of advanced training and high standards of practice. And why I surround myself with the talented members of my Care Team. My patients deserve personal attention and dedicated care, and that’s what they receive from my practice.”
