Everyone is unique and has different dental needs. I take pride in being a gentle, meticulous dentist. It is my goal for our patients to be surprised at how comfortable modern dentistry can be.” He is an active member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, and Chicago Dental Society.
