I am passionate about orthodontics and honored to have the ability to change peoples lives. Giving a person a beautiful smile, one that lasts a lifetime and improves their oral and overall healthas well as their self-image and confidence, is an incredible process.
I love serving a diverse community and creating smiles for everyone from children through teens, working professionals, and even grandparents. Todays orthodontic techniques empowerus to move teeth gently and efficientlyinto the correct position, and deliver stable results in the form of breathtaking smiles!
I was drawn to orthodontics becauseits the perfect combination of art and science, and allows me time to build connections with people. Because treatment takes place over several years, and I see patients about once a month, we are able to get to know each other.
Like other healthcare fields, orthodontics is changing at a fast pace. Advanced technologies, as well as revolutionary new modalities and materials, are constantly being developed. Taken together, these mean faster, more accurate diagnostics and treatment, and more incredible results. Patients deserve to be treated by a doctor who is current on these changes.
Every year I complete many hours of postgraduate courses, and consistently exceedthe minimum required continuing education hours. Through local, regional, and national sessions, along with lectures, seminars, and study ofrelevant journals, I ensure patients receive the highestquality of care. They deserve only the best!
I immigrated to the United States when I was 19 and have spent the majority of my adult life in the San Fernando Valley. Currently I live in the Encino area with my wife, Lucy, and our young son and daughter.
I love being an orthodontist. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, and the friendships that Ive built with my patients and their families are one in a million. It has always been my focus to make each patient feel at-home when they come to me for treatment and I work hard to give my patients the attention they deserve.
My education in dentistry and orthodontics has provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience. Now, by regularly participating in continuing education, I am able to stay current on the latest technology and orthodontic treatments. My patients deserve the best, and continuing education allows me to provide them with more options and better results. I am a member of several professional associations that provide me with opportunities for continuing education.
I am truly blessed to live and work in such a wonderful community. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families, and it is always such an honor to know that I have made a difference in so many of my patients lives. I couldnt ask for a better job or for better people sharing their smiles with me. I look forward to working with you.
As an orthodontist, I really enjoy achieving beauty by harmonizing the natural features of a patients face with the existing dentition and occlusion, and helping patients attain a healthy and beautiful smile. What most excites me most is being able to gain the trust of my patients and building long-lasting relationships with them by learning about all the things that make my patients smile.
I attend continuing education courses in order to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and innovations in orthodontics, allowing me to provide the best possible orthodontic care to my patients. In addition to attending local and national conferences to learn about the latest advances and techniques in orthodontics, I also participate in Invisalign seminars to provide patients with a clear alternative to metal braces.
