I’ve been in the medical/dental field for 30 years, oral surgery for 6 years. My favorite thing about oral surgery is the satisfaction of knowing you are helping someone in pain or discomfort, scared, to feel better and give them reassurance, hope and the knowledge to understand all of their options, and finally, to see the end results and happy smiles on our patient’s faces. We are here to help their life become more fulfilling and functional and I’m excited to be a part of that.
