Meet Our Doctors

I am passionate about orthodontics and committed to helping my patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles that create more positivity and happiness in the community. I enjoy being part of the process that results in more confidence and self-esteem for my patients. Every one of them has a unique personality, and the opportunity to get to know them individually is truly a gift.

Fun Facts:
-I'm a part-time adventurer that stomps in puddles, explores the woods, jumps in the lake, and builds an impressive snow fort.

- Lover of all Asian cuisine. Bring on the Indian and Korean food please!

- My three kids, husband and I love to jam together as a family.

- I love finding new and fun ways to teach my kids about gratitude and generosity.

There’s plenty to love about my job. For starters, every day is a chance to improve someone else’s. Each mouth is like a puzzle, and by working to solve it I get to watch patients’ smiles grow proportionately with their confidence. There’s a real sense of belonging here—between patients, doctors and assistants. It’s extremely gratifying work, and something I cherish at every turn.
