About the Doctor
	I am a native of Colorado Springs and attended local schools as I was growing up. I then attended Creighton University and earned a degree in psychology. I continued on at Creighton University’s Dental School to earn my degree in dentistry, completing my training in May of 1985. In the summer of 1985, I returned to Colorado Springs and opened my practice.   I have completed many hours of continuing education since receiving my degree and am always striving to master the most current techniques in the dental field. I am active in my church, the dental society, and in my community, where I am a member of the Rotary Club of the Garden of the Gods. I love people and am active in outdoor activities, such as skiing, biking, and golf. I also enjoy computers, electronics, cars, and physical fitness.   Your Comfort is our Commitment I have a small friendly solo private paractice, and my staff and I are committed to treating you in the gentlest manner possible and to be as punctual as possible, as we value your time. We spend extra time with children to make every visit an enjoyable, positive dental experience. These gentle visits at an early age will prevent “dental phobia” later in life. Adults with existing “phobias” are not forgotten either. We understand how one past bad experience can make one reluctant to seek further care. We will discuss your apprehensions openly and recommend a treatment approach best suited to your individual needs. We provide the most comfortable dentistry that personal caring and modern technology can offer.   We are dedicated to preventative dentistry and are as interested in keeping you healthy as in correcting existing problems. We will care for any immediate problems you may presently have and outline a course of treatment that will enable you to achieve and/or maintain a healthy mouth. Also, we are always available to answer your questions.   We are all personally interested in your well being. Our goal is to establish a relationship of mutual trust and respect.
