Tell us about your family:

I’ve been married for 30 years to the love of my life, Jeannie, and we have three wonderful children Elena, Christina and William in their 20’s. We have lived in Westfield for twenty-six years and my children are graduates of Westfield High School and Seton Hall Prep. We love our Westfield community. It’s been a blessing to build my career here and raise our family.

What do you like best about the community?

To start, the word community says it all for our town and area. There are few places I know where neighbors and residents express as much concern for the people around them, the way of life, the small-town feel and a communal sense of helping those in need. Our downtown is a wonderful magnet for gathering and enjoying time with friends and neighbors.

Tell us about your practice:

I am incredibly grateful to my patients and my amazing Team for the opportunity to provide dental care in an office and community that I love. I have been in practice for 40 years, the last 26 of which have been in Westfield! Every dream I have ever had professionally has come true and I couldn’t be more thankful to do what I love in such a great town.

What should our neighbors know about your practice? How is it unique?

We are a personalized practice that focuses on each patient as a person and each individual’s oral health concerns, fears, and needs. My Team will address any insurance concerns, billing, fears or desires so together we can provide the most personalized, quality and comfortable care possible.

Our office has the latest dental technology including digital scanners and x-rays, along with offering almost all the specialty dental care that you might need within our office. From Invisalign to implant surgery and everything in between, our office is geared from regular checkups and cleanings to full mouth restorations.

Is there any one simple thing in particular you can tell our neighbors in terms of maintaining proper dental health?

Please, please, please visit your dentist regularly. We are your team and your advocates for good oral health with all of the diagnostics to tell you how you are doing. The other important thing is to brush and floss at least twice a day.

How can others learn from your commitment and inspiration? What’s most important to success?

Hard work and true caring. You cannot fake genuine care and advocacy for patients. It’s an honor to care for the patients in our community and I take that responsibility seriously. As a result, I truly believe that our patients feel the caring that comes out of my team and myself. We are a family dental practice that truly considers our patients family.
