Gained six years of experience as an associate at a private practice in Addison, NY, before moving to the Buffalo region and proudly joining Stellar Dental Care.
While living in the Southern Tier, I also gave back to the community where I grew up by serving as a volunteer dentist for Health Ministries of the Southern Tier where I was nominated to the Board of Directors.
Have extensive training and experience with CEREC “single visit dentistry”, utilizing the latest CAD/CAM technology to fabricate ceramic crowns using digital impressions and immediate fabrication, eliminating the need for traditional impressions, temporary crowns, and a follow-up visit.

Born in Lewiston, New York, I grew-up in Niagara Falls and graduated in 1984 from Niagara Falls High School, where I was co-captain of the swim team. Later, I swam for Syracuse University. I’ve played bass guitar in a band along the way, and like tinkering with computers, radios, scanners, and other gadgets. I’m a proud owner of a Meade LX200 10″ SCT telescope, build mid-power rockets, and fly RC aircraft when weather permits. I have a beautiful wife and two fantastic children who gracefully tolerate my interests.
Degrees Earned:
• SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, DDS, ’99
• Michigan State University, BS, Microbiology, ’94
• Syracuse University, BA, Political Philosophy, ’88

• The Buffalo General Hospital, ’00
My advanced training was based at The Buffalo General Hospital Dental Department, now part of the Kaleida Health Care System. There I sharpened my skills in the practice of general dentistry, including rounds in the Emergency Oral Surgery clinic, and Emergency Room on-call. Additionally, my residency included work at the Deaconess Skilled Nursing Facility dental clinic, located in Buffalo, NY. All phases of general dentistry were provided, as well as treatment of geriatric and mentally-disabled patients.
I’ve also served the Tuscarora Native-American community as their dentist in the bustling Tuscarora Reservation Dental Clinic. This facility is located in the Tuscarora School complex, 2015 Mount Hope Road, Lewiston, NY. I have treated thousands of adults and children of all ages at this clinic, and continue to do so on a part-time basis.
I’m now associated with Stellar Dental Care to assist you in maintaining proper oral health and prevention of tooth decay. We look forward to serving you!
