Education and Continuing Education
Before becoming a dentist I committed my time and energy to my education. It is because of my years in school, receiving the right training and experiences, that I am able to offer the most advanced treatments for the highest quality dental care.
- Attended the University of Miami and Fairleigh Dickinson University where I graduated with honors and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology/Chemistry.
- Attended Georgetown University, graduating in 1979 with a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree (DDS).
- Obtained an I.V. sedation license, and became the only certified sedation dentist in Morris County.
Education is important to me. I regularly participate in continuing education as a way for me to stay current with the latest dental technology and treatments. Since starting my own private practice in 1985, I have logged over 2,000 hours of continuing education, and counting!
I am a member of several professional associations, all offering courses in continuing education, including:
- American Dental Association
- Academy of General Dentistry
- Westchester Advanced Reconstructive and Cosmetic Group (founding member)
- Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantation
- New Jersey Dental Association
- Tri-County Dental Society
There’s always something to Smile About…
When I’m away from the practice, I enjoy spending my time with my beautiful wife, Brenda, and our children, Rebecca, Alex, Eric, and Chelsea. Our family loves animals, and as we like to say “our other family members” are our West Highland white terriers, Lovey and Sugar, our two Yorkshire terriers Simon and Ginger, and our horses Romeo and Danny. I also enjoy travelling, photography, scuba diving, horseback riding, exercising to stay fit, and cars. I look forward to getting to know you and your family, and helping to keep you in good spirits and great smiles – always!
