I am very fortunate to have a profession that I care deeply about, in an accommodating community to both work and raise a family. The personal relationships I have cultivated with my patients over the years are certainly an added bonus. I have a relationship with my patients that goes above and beyond a standard doctor/patient relationship.

I am most passionate about relieving patients’ anxiety, and achieving outcomes that transform their smiles. I am also very gratified when I can get patients out of discomfort or pain. My patients are very appreciative and grateful for the services I am able to provide, and there is no better feeling than helping someone improve his or her quality of life!

Education and continuing education

I earned my Bachelor of Science at Fordham University before obtaining my Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. I would later complete a two-year residency through New York University’s implant dentistry fellowship program.

I believe the continual pursuit of continuing education is vital for a dentist to remain current with existing and future technologies. I have logged more than a thousand hours of continuing education through the Tri-State Study Club, the Westchester Study Club, the Pankey Institute, the Spear Academy, and the Dawson Academy, all to better myself as a dentist and benefit my patients.

Outside the office

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wife Suzanne, my daughter Paige, my son Freddie, and our dogs, Henry & Milo. We reside in Somers. I enjoy golfing, pickleball and skiing when time allows.

In the community

I strongly believe in giving back and am very active in my community. I am involved with social activities within Somers. That includes volunteering with my church and the town's youth sports programs.

I attended the University of Buffalo for my dental degree which I obtained in 2003. Following dental school, I went on to a general practice residency at which I served as an attending during my second year. That year solidified for me, my interest in the dental specialty of Prosthodontics and I decided to continue my education in that field. I completed three years of Prosthodontics training at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now Rutgers).

Since 2008, I have been in private practices in Queens, Manhattan, Yonkers, and now North Salem.

It is hard to believe that I have 20 years in the dental field. I enjoy my work, specifically tackling the most challenging of dental cases and restoring my patient’s smiles to ideal form, function and esthetics.
