Diplomate, American Board of Periodontology

As a periodontist, I enjoy making a positive impact on my patient’s lives by improving their smiles as well as their comfort and health. It is the reason I am thrilled to go to work every day! I have had patients that were once told they would lose all of their teeth, but through periodontal care, even after many years still have every one of them! Success stories like this make me grateful and very humbled to be part of this wonderful profession.

I believe in delivering state of the art care with a gentle touch in a lighthearted environment. I am extremely proud of my team of caring and dedicated professionals. They excel at welcoming even the most anxious of patients and setting them at ease, helping them become part of our dental family.

I grew up in North Tampa and attended Jesuit High School before attending the University of Florida. I met my wife Meg there at a Gator football game, and we have been inseparable ever since. We welcomed our son Daniel in 2012, our daughter Lillie in 2014 and our newest addition, Everett in May of 2016. When I’m not at the office I love spending time with my family, playing golf, playing the guitar, traveling the world and cheering on the Bucs, Rays, Bolts and Gators.
