About

Raised in a family of doctors and mental health professionals, the importance of caring for people was elemental to my upbringing. My father taught me that caring for another person is a privilege – this value has shaped the way I live my life as a dentist, as a mother, and as an active member of my community.  When I was a child I loved to tinker with items around the house and, my grandfather, a retired firefighter, channeled this talent by teaching me how to fix many things, from bathrooms to cars. I chose a career in dentistry because it was a great way to combine my love of medicine and talent for fixing.

My passion for Children and Dentistry

Professionally, I have spent almost two decades providing outstanding dental care to pediatric patients in the greater Philadelphia area. Serving as Clinical Director for a large not-for-profit Children’s Dental Center, I provided clinical care and advocacy for at-risk children. Much of my career has focused on helping children, including patients with special and complex medical needs, improve their dental health.
