I believe that orthodontics is a great profession. I love meeting so many new people and building personal relationships with them throughout treatment. I truly enjoy creating beautiful smiles unique to each patient. Getting to know patients and watching them grow up is a wonderful thing to be a part of. I love personalizing treatment specifically for each patient and making their orthodontic experience the best it can possibly be!

Our Team…

My team is fantastic! They always go the extra mile to encourage patients and help them have an enjoyable orthodontic experience. We are all committed to providing gentle care and clinical excellence.

A Foundation in Learning…

I attended Alfred University where I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry in 2001. I completed dental school at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, earning my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2005. My General Practice Residency was completed at New York Methodist Hospital where I served as the Chief Resident.  I continued on to Loma Linda University, where I earned my Master of Science degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics and my Certificate in Orthodontics in 2009.

I attend continuing education courses as often as possible to keep up with the latest in orthodontic techniques and technology. I also enjoy continuing to do advanced research involving sleep apnea as well as other areas of orthodontics.

Outside the Office…

I am originally from Barrington, Rhode Island. I enjoy spending much of my time outdoors, whether it is playing soccer, traveling, or long-distance running. I love training for marathons; I’ve run four and am currently training for my fifth! I’ve also recently completed my SCUBA certification!
