An experienced Dentist with special education in Sedation, Surgery and Implantology. I have been involved with implantology since 1982 when as a student I worked in the research lab for Dr. Philip Boyne at Loma Linda University.

When at Vanderbilt, I continued helping with implant research for Dr. David Hall. I have been placing and restoring implants since I graduated in 1986. I have done anesthesia site permitting since it’s inception in the early 1990’s for the State of California and recently for the State of Nevada. I was instrumental in formulating the current guidelines for permitting sites and their practitioners for Nevada. I have excellent communication skills and am bilingual.
