DDS, MS, Dental Anesthesiologist
I have the great pleasure of working with the team at Southpoint Pediatric Dentistry to provide in-office general anesthesia services. As a father, I understand the importance of finding a dental practice that offers a comfortable, fun environment that feels like home. Our team strives to provide an unforgettable experience in our pediatric dental office.
I received my B.S. in Business and B.A. in Chemistry from East Carolina University, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Afterward, I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I earned my D.D.S. degree with honors in May 2001. I completed a one-year general practice residency with the University of North Carolina hospital system from 2001-2002. During 2004-2007, I also worked with a general dentist in Raleigh who specialized in providing comprehensive care to high anxiety patients utilizing oral sedation.
My passion for oral sedation motivated me to complete a residency in dental anesthesiology at The Ohio State University, where I received a Master of Science and a certificate in dental anesthesiology. I went on to become a Diplomate of the American Dental Board of Anesthesiology, which requires completion of a CODA accredited dental anesthesiology residency and successful completion of a written and oral board examination. The dental anesthesiology residency prepared me to manage pain and anxiety in a comprehensive manner while treating both adult and pediatric patients.
Along with providing a full spectrum of anesthesia services at Southpoint Pediatric Dentistry, I practice in the Raleigh/Durham, NC area for a local oral surgery team.
Outside the office, I enjoy running, cooking, scuba diving, and race car driving. All of us at Southpoint Pediatric Dentistry consider your family a part of ours and we sincerely look forward to getting to know each of you!
