Special Professional Interests
I have found dentistry to be an extremely rewarding career, which I have enjoyed in a variety of settings. From the great foundation I received at the University of Minnesota, to my wonderful years as a general dentist in the United States Navy, to narrowing my focus to endodontic specialty care since 1995, I have found dentistry to be a joy and a privilege. I love practicing as an endodontist; diagnosing and treating complex cases to help patients save their natural teeth, and trying to make the experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
