A Able Dentist

I graduated from Punahou School and completed both my undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Washington. In dental school, I was awarded the Ferrier Memorial Prize by the American College of Dentists. Following graduation, I accepted a professor position at the University of Washington School of Dentistry and taught courses on dental implants and restorative dentistry.

I practice skilled and compassionate dentistry. We always call my patients a day or two following every dental procedure to check on their overall well-being. I believe that effective treatment extends beyond education, training, and traditional clinical care; it includes identifying with the concerns and emotions of patients and calming their fears.

I believe that establishing and maintaining effective communication helps to promote a strong doctor-patient relationship while contributing to improved health outcomes by ensuring that the patients' dental needs are clearly understood and their priorities are met.
