I attended dental school at the University of Pennsylvania, completing my dental degree in 1986, directly followed by a post-doctoral General Practice Residency program at what is now known as the NYU/Lutheran Medical Center. I have been in private practice in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn since 1987 and enjoy living in this community with my wife, three daughters, and grandchildren.
I am very passionate about innovation and believe that technology greatly improves the quality of patient care. My philosophy encompasses a lifelong commitment to dental education and a never-ending dedication to my patients and to clinical excellence. As a Clinical Director of the Full Mouth Reconstruction Course at The New York University College of Dentistry, I instruct dentists in the treatment of patients in need of complex oral rehabilitations.
