Welcome to our practice! I have wanted to be an orthodontist since I was six years old, and am honored to be serving families in my home town. I love orthodontics because it allows me to closely interact with patients and accommodate their individual orthodontic needs. It also allows me to work together with my patients to improve the appearance of their smile and improve their overall self-esteem. It's incredibly rewarding!

For my formal education, I attained the following certificates:

• BS, Mount St. Mary's University
• MS, Oral Biology Temple University
• DMD, Temple University
• Orthodontic Certificate Temple University

Although my formal education is complete, I continuously attend various courses and seminars in continuing orthodontic education. This allows me to provide my patients with the newest and most innovative orthodontic treatment available. I also participate in courses that provide information about the newest orthodontic technology so it can be used in our office.

Each patient is unique with different orthodontic needs. Caring for each individual's needs makes my job challenging and engaging. I enjoy customizing treatment to fit the individual need of each patient while making a personal connection with them at the same time!

Our office provides a comfortable atmosphere for our patients. We encourage patient participation not only in their orthodontic treatment but in various office contests as well. We even have a video game in our deck area! We strive to make orthodontic treatment a fun and enjoyable experience for our patients.

On Saturday, December 4 my wonderful fiancé, Lindsay, and I were married. We have a Shih-Chon puppy named Maisie! I also enjoy watching and going to sporting events! I like the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles and Flyers. I am also a Hershey Bears fan. I love spending time with my family and am excited about starting a family of my own.
