As a General Dentist with 25 years of experience, I have developed a passion for pursuing excellence in the profession. I recently completed an AEGD residency at Marquette University School of Dentistry, with a fellowship focus on urgent care and advanced care services for the medically complex patient. I’m also competent in treating special needs patients and completing full mouth rehabilitation cases. My journey through dentistry has inspired me to pursue a teaching faculty position. With the combination of both clinical experience (since 1995) and faculty assistant experience (2017-2019) I have developed motivation for education, and because of this I have been privileged to teach the new generation of Dentist with a faculty position at Midwestern University at Downers Grove since 2020, providing support to students throughout their academic and clinic process, always understanding their challenges and success. Clinical diagnosis, prosthodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery are my areas of expertise. My advanced training has enabled me to provide truly comprehensive treatment. These experiences also awarded me recognition from my patients, to whom I always have provided dentistry with the extension of my knowledge, skills and my utmost respect.
