I am a Board Certified Periodontist in Naples, Florida. I am also a Member of the Medical Staff of the NCH Hospital System. Establishing my private practice in Southwest Florida has allowed me to provide the best quality of "up-to-date" dental procedures to a magnificent population of people. Patients that do understand the risks vs. rewards on specific dental treatments allow them to make informed decisions and feel like an integral part of the treatment planning process. The goal of providing periodontal and implant procedures is to restore comfortable function and to maximize aesthetics. At my office, an appointment will always allow adequate time to educate the patient on all dental treatment options and to answer any specific questions prior to providing any definitive dental care.

I am currently an active member in good standing with the following Professional societies:

• Florida Dental Society of Anesthesiology
• American Academy of Periodontology
• American Dental Association
• Academy of Osseointegration
• West Coast Dental Society
• Collier County Dental Society
• Naples Chamber of Commerce

I have presented lectures to Physicians, Dental students/ residents, Dental Society meetings, Dental retreats, Dental study clubs, and have presented and hosted numerous ½ to full day seminars for dentists and staff members on numerous Dental topics.
