My journey to becoming a dentist was deeply personal. Having had polio as a child, I was inspired to help children as I was once helped. I wanted to build long-term relationships with both children and their families, creating a foundation of trust and care that lasts a lifetime.
I’ve been practicing dentistry for over 53 years, focusing on pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. My expertise lies in creating a nurturing and caring environment where both children and parents feel comfortable and confident about the child’s dental care.
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to providing a highly supportive and welcoming environment. I take pride in seeing children grow up enjoying their dental experiences, and I’m honored to have cared for over 2,600 second-generation patients. Watching these families thrive and entrusting me with their care brings me immense joy.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition for my work, including:
I’ve also been invited to speak at numerous dental organizations, sharing my knowledge and passion for pediatric dentistry.
Giving back to the community has always been a priority for me. I support local schools and their programs and have volunteered hundreds of hours at the San Jose Clinic in Houston.
My approach to care is simple: treat every person the way I would want to be treated. I believe in respecting individuals regardless of their economic circumstances and fostering behaviors that uphold this belief. Honesty and gentle, high-quality care are at the core of everything I do.
I am proud to be a member of esteemed organizations, including:
