"I remember the exact moment I decided I wanted to go into dentistry. It was in 1976, the day after Christmas and late at night. I thought for sure my dad, a successful dentist, would be happy with my decision to follow in his footsteps. He wished me well and promptly went back to sleep – after all, it was the middle of the night.

 

From that night on I was totally focused on my decision. So focused that right after graduating dental school, I went straight into my orthodontics specialty. Two decades later and more than 6,000 satisfied patients, I’m happy to say I made the right decision. I love the fact that I get to work with youngsters and teenagers. The best part is I get to watch them grow into young with straight, healthy teeth. My job is very rewarding."
