About

Philosophy of care

The philosophy of our practice is to develop a dental home for children - a place where they receive oral health care in a comprehensive way. We beginning caring for children when they are one year old. We assist children and their parents with preventive care and treatment and refer them to other specialists when needed. Our practice accepts all infants, children, adolescents and special needs patients. Our goal is to educate children and their parents and provide treatment in a way that will minimize fear of the dentist.

Why I entered medicine

I entered the field of pediatric dentistry because in addition to my passion for treating children, I enjoy caring for patients from the time they are young and watching them develop into lifelong patients who do not have a fear of the dentist. My greatest reward is seeing smiles on the faces of my patients and their parents as I strive to provide the best possible care in a child-friendly environment.

Community involvement

I participate in Lehigh Valley Health Network's general dentistry residency program, Give Kids a Smile Day and Walk Now for Autism Speaks. I am on the board of directors for More Than Smiles.
