Our Philosophy
Time is the true test of all treatment. Properly diagnosed and executed dental care should give years and years of satisfaction. When looking back at patient care that I delivered more than 25 years ago, I see dental work that has gone the distance. Because my patients and I made a mutual commitment to the best and most appropriate dental care, their oral health has passed the test of time.
My personal philosophy is that if one is going to do a job, then one should do it right. I recommend the same care for my patients that I would give to myself. Treatment that cuts corners may look acceptable at first, but it will soon fail. In any cosmetically restorative process, literally hundreds of decisions must be made. Our mission is to make each of those decisions to the highest standard of care.
Education
As a graduate of Northwestern University Dental School, I am privileged to have received my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from a school that has been considered by many to be the finest in the world. I was taught by the masters in the art and science of dentistry. Every professor and every course aimed toward one goal: perfection.
I learned from Northwestern that the word “doctor” originally meant “teacher.” As a teacher, one has a commitment to forever remain a “student.” Thus, I continually seek advanced, professional education throughout my career. As a result, I have earned the following honors and credentials:
- Fellow, Academy of General Dentistry
- Fellow, International College of Dentists
- Fellow, American College of Dentists
- Past President, North Suburban Branch of the Chicago Dental Society
- Past President, Lake County Dental Society
- Past Chairman, Public Relations Committee for the Chicago Dental Society
- Member, American Dental Association
- Member, Illinois State Dental Society
- Member, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
- Member, American Equilibration Society
