General Info

I was born and raised in upstate NY about two hours east of Canandaigua. After going to school for my undergrad degree at the University of Dayton, I was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania where I attained my dental degree. After graduating from UPenn I did some advanced training in Philadelphia and then at Eastman Dental Center in Rochester. It was at Eastman that a teacher of mine offered me a full time job to come work with him in Penn Yan, and I jumped on it! Like most first time gigs, the Penn Yan job hadn’t worked out like I had hoped. I really wanted to open up my own dental office. The risk was huge, but so was the upside. I knew that if I started a dental practice 100% focused on the patient the business would have a chance to succeed. When we started the practice, I envisioned two core principles: first, I wanted to change the way people felt about going to the dentist. Secondly, I would do everything possible to help all those who wanted us to be their dentist. Those two principles have guided us pretty darn well over the last 12 years. Relying on our customer first philosophy, we started to get busier and busier. Our patients appeared happy with our office and they started to refer their friends and family. I saw a growing need to expand the services we offered at the practice so I spent almost every weekend traveling across the country learning new dental skills from the best teachers out there. We continue to provide the highest levels of clinical dentistry and customer service to all those who want them. Give Finger Lakes Dental Care a try, and let us help you discover the smile within.
