When you come to our office, we recognize that you are unique with respect to your concerns, motivations and goals for your orthodontic care. I am honoured to be one to assess you as a whole and make sure your needs will be met and my treatment will be valuable to you. I will recognize your orthodontic concerns and discuss how different options can fit into your everyday life. It is exciting for me each time to meet an individual with the hope of achieving a new and beautiful smile!

Professional Education

It is a privilege to have received the level of education required to be an orthodontic specialist. This profession possesses qualities of sound ethics, evidence-based learning and treatment, care and generosity. I received my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of British Columbia, Department of Dentistry in 2001 and completed a two-year General Practice Residency (GPR) at the University of Washington, Department of Dentistry in 2003. Then I attended the University of Rochester, Eastman Dental Center where I received my diploma in Orthodontics in 2005. As a Certified Specialist, I am a fellow at the Royal College of Dentists of Canada since 2005.

In the Community

I was born and raised in Vancouver and it is exciting to be working in my community. I love to travel and have been to cities in Asia, Europe, South America and all over North America.
