About Your Dentist

Dentistry allows me the opportunity to change someone's life in a positive way. My goal is to help patients understand and value the importance of their oral health, while also helping them achieve it. I want to help create lasting smiles all over the Bluegrass State.

My mission is to provide the highest quality dental care in a professional, caring and friendly environment. I will strive to educate and encourage patients toward a state of optimal oral health. The purpose of our dental team is to provide and deliver the most innovative, technologically-advanced and comfortable dental care to our patients. Our comprehensive dental treatment philosophy will improve our patients' overall health and enhance the quality of their lives. We will work together as a team and respect every person's individuality.
