My goal is to add value to my patients' lives and increase their self-esteem by the creation of beautiful, predictable, long lasting restorations. I always take into consideration my patient's needs and opinions. My practice philosophy can be summed up in one word- excellence.
I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry, graduating cum laude from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1973. I graduated with high honors from the Columbia University School of Dental Medicine in 1977, and then went on to a hospital-based General Practice Residency program at Hartford Hospital, where I received advanced training in all of the dental specialties.
I have made a serious commitment to be a lifelong student of my profession. I am an active alumni member of the L.D.Pankey Institute, one of the most advanced post-doctoral education centers in the world. In 2004, I received a Fellowship award from the Academy of General Dentistry. This career milestone requires continuous membership in the Academy of General Dentistry, which includes a strict continuing education component, completion of over 500 hours of coursework, and the passing of a comprehensive written examination.
