Education and family
I grew up on Long Island and received my Bachelor of Science in biology from Vassar College. I graduated from Georgetown University School of Dentistry. I then completed a general practice residency and a two year residency  in prosthodontics at Kingsbrook Medical Center.  

A prosthodontist is a specialist in restorative dentistry.  This involves crowns, bridges, cosmetic dentistry, and implant restorations. I am an attending at Flushing Medical Center where I enjoy teaching the residents at Flushing Medical Center how to restore implants.

 When my wife Roseann and I are not at the office we spend our time cooking, sailing, kayaking, hiking, gardening, and playing with our dog - Sam.

My commitment
I am committed to excellence.  I am a perfectionist by nature. This attitude is central to my practice as I try to ensure that all of my patients not only have a great experience but also the highest quality dentistry possible.  Although I love being a dentist I really don't like being a dental patient so I understand patients fears and concerns.  I do my best to be sure that patients have a great experience when they come to see us.

I have been practicing in Floral Park since 1985.  I am a member of the American Dental Association, New York State Dental Association, and the Nassau County Dental Association.
