"I strive to balance form and function in my profession. This means providing beautiful work that passes the test of time.
"I am also committed to building long-term relationships with my patients and finding out what works best for them in terms of aesthetics, function and value. I love working with both children and older adults and consider patience and understanding among my best treatment tools.
"Prior to joining Grove Dental, I worked in a busy public aid clinic and a large suburban group practice. This has given me an excellent background in handling different types of people with both routine and complex dental treatment needs. I am fluent in Spanish and give time to various community outreach programs.
