I didn't have "good" teeth as a child. I've had dental work completed on myself as patient. I saw firsthand how a toothache not only impacted oral health and overall health, but quality of life. I wanted to make a difference, even if it only involves relieving a person of a toothache.

I want to make sure that after your first visit, you return for dental care, and make oral health one of your priorities in life.

I have always wanted to be in a profession to help
educate and improve the quality of life for people.
I became passionate about oral health and
how it impacts the whole person.

Working alongside other health professionals
at Lakeshore allows me to pursue my passion
for giving patients the best care possible.

I'm originally from Romania, but I moved to the US almost 20 years ago. I've worked for private practices, health centers and free clinics in Virginia, West Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin. I treat my patients how I would like to be treated.

I often volunteer at Mission of Mercy, Special Olympic and Special Smiles events and walking the Camino de Santiago (the Way of Saint James), a 500 mile pilgrimage in Spain, was a life changing experience for me.

I have a special interest in extractions and other surgical procedures in dentistry. I completed a one year internship in Oral Surgery with the prestigious St. John’s Providence Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program.

While I'm very part time, I try to make a big impact when I'm at LCHC. I proudly serve in the Wisconsin Army National Guard. When I'm not working, I'm usually hunting or fishing.
