I am a Washington native and grew up in the small town of Steilacoom, WA. I attended the University of Washington where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. I then went on to receive my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from New York University. Following graduation, I completed a hospital-based General Practice Residency program at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY, where I was able to further my training in dental implants, oral surgery, root canal therapy, pediatric dentistry, and sedation dentistry. For the past six years, I have been honing my skills as a family and cosmetic dentist in private practices in downtown Manhattan, NY, and more recently in downtown Seattle, WA. As a natural-born perfectionist, I am committed to delivering exceptional results and ensuring the longevity of my patients’ oral health. My highest priority is making sure that the needs and comfort of my patients are always met, and my philosophy is to always treat my patients with the same care and compassion as I would for my own family members. I take pride in my ability to properly treat patients with dental phobia and anxiety by exhibiting a calm demeanor and gentle touch. I am a certified Invisalign® provider and routinely take Continuing Education courses in esthetic and reconstructive dentistry. I am also a member of the American Dental Association, Washington State Dental Association, Seattle-King County Dental Society, and Academy of General Dentistry. Since my job requires quite a bit of sitting, I like to stay active when I am not in the office. In my spare time, you can find me snowboarding, playing football, softball, or tennis, or hiking with my wife, Christina, and French bulldog, Muggsy.
It was a good experience. He was very patient and did his best to provide me with good suggestions about tooth cleaning.

This was definitely the best experience I’ve had at a dentist! They were so caring and helpful with any questions I had. Seemed like walking into a great family atmosphere where they cafe about their patients a lot!

Experience at the office was very smooth and they took care of me considering the time crunch I had. They had a tv that that I could watch which the cleaning was done, that made the procedure less boring as I had something to do. Dr was diligent in finding issues and told me about what I should look out for and what issues needs to be fixed sooner.

Good experience, very good vibe. Place was modern. While most of my check up and cleaning was done by the dental hygienist, the doctor did stop by in the end for a quick check up.

Beautiful space and a friendly, kind staff. This was my first time at the dentist in *many, many* years and they didn't judge me for it; which is what I had experienced in the past with other dentists and a huge reason for my anxiety with going back to a dentist. They did a great job of walking me through everything they were doing and thoroughly explained my treatment plan and what they found while taking my x-rays and images. Getting my teeth cleaned was painless and the hygienist had a normal conversation with me, as opposed to commenting on every detail of my teeth in a judge-y kind of way (another thing I had experienced at a different dental office in the past). They didn't impose treatments or procedures on me that I didn't want to do or pressure me into doing them knowing it'd cost me a lot of money. I felt like this was a dentist visit "done right" and helped *me* feel good beyond just making my teeth look and feel good.
