I have over 20 years experience in the dental field, I absolutely love what I do and I'm good at it. I started in the back office working chairside and 17 years ago I moved to the front office and became addicted. I have made it my mission to learn as much as I can, to continue to educate myself as things are ever changing and it keeps me on top. I have Dentrix, Softdent, Eaglesoft, Practice Works, Orthotrac and Computer Age dentist software experience as well as proficiency in Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel.
I have worked in Perio, Endo, and Cosmetic dentistry and have experience in Implant and Oral Surgery as well. I have attended several Invisalign training classes and understand that it takes a team effort to be successful at providing a cutting-edge approach to treatment that effectively transforms a patient's smile into one that is healthy, confident and beautiful. I have experience presenting treatment plans well over $30,000.00 with above average acceptance and use as many tools as are available to me to counter any concern for a patient to need to think about it and walk out unscheduled.
I love to be challenged and feel its an important factor in my success both personally and professionally.
