On a Personal Note
I grew up in West Roxbury, and family has always been a big influence on my life. I’ve been married to my beautiful wife Sarah for 2 years. In our spare time, we enjoy hiking, going to the beach, and trying out new restaurants.
My love for dentistry stems from my uncle. I spent countless hours in my uncle’s office as an orthodontic patient. After my appointments, I would normally stick around the office and just observe everything that was going on. It seemed so interesting that your day-to-day experience as a dentist could vary so much depending on what the schedule had in store for you. Best of all, you were treating patients and helping them overcome so many barriers.
