Board Certified Pediatric Dentist
I’m so excited to welcome you and your child to Southpoint Pediatric Dentistry! As a mother myself, I understand how difficult it is to trust someone else with your child. I can honestly say that I treat my patients as if they are my own children and I truly love my career as a pediatric dentist.
From an early age, I knew I wanted to work with children and pediatric dentistry became a perfect fit for me. I attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, graduating with a degree in Biology with Honors. I then continued my education at the UNC School of Dentistry, receiving my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Following dental school, I completed pediatric dental residency at Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado. This two-year residency program enabled me to gain valuable experience and knowledge in oral/conscious sedation, pediatric dental trauma, and special needs dentistry within a unique hospital environment.
I returned to North Carolina after residency and practiced as a pediatric dentist in Winston-Salem for over seven years. Both my family and I are natives of the Durham/Chapel Hill area and wanted to move “back home,” so I decided to establish a practice in Durham. I feel fortunate to live in such a great community I am able to enjoy with my two wonderful children, Ava and Liam. The people, schools, and culture make this area a great place to live, work, and raise a family. When away from the office, I enjoy concerts, traveling, the theatre, running, and biking.
I look forward to getting to know you and your child. The relationships our office develops with our patients and their families are priceless. We team together to provide comprehensive sedation treatment options including in office oral sedation and general anesthesia. We truly care and are committed to creating a difference in the life of your child by making their dental visit special, fun and non-threatening. Don’t be surprised if they don’t want to leave!
