I enjoy working closely with my colleagues in the dental community on a daily basis, but I particularly enjoy collaborating with patients. I consider it a privilege to be trusted not only with a patient’s oral health, but also anything else they want to share. I want my patients to rest assured that I will always take the time to listen and that I will always work in their best interests.”
