DDS
I am thrilled to join the outstanding team of dental professionals at Southpoint Pediatric Dentistry. I have found my calling in pediatric dentistry, and I am passionate about providing the greatest possible care for children of all ages in an environment that not only creates positive results but also a positive relationship between your child and the dentist.
I attended the University of North Carolina at Pembroke where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry with Honors. I continued onto the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I spent time assisting in general and pediatric dental offices and involved in pediatric dental research. Upon graduation, I went on to work as a general dentist in the Fayetteville area.
After working over four years in this field and having two daughters of my own, I confirmed that my true calling is in pediatric dentistry. I knew I could make the greatest difference in the lives of children and decided to go back to school to do so. I completed a two-year pediatric residency at East Carolina University, and I now look forward to working with your families in an environment where your children feel safe and have fun going to the dentist!
I spent the first ten years of my life living in Durham, and as a life-long Tar Heel fan, I am excited to be back in the area with my wife, Caitlin, and two daughters, Sophia and Capel.
