Providing excellent dental care has been the focus of my 48-year career. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of providing ongoing dentistry to patients who’ve been with me since the practice opened in 1978. To me, they’re not just patients; they’re friends, and an integral part of my extended family. Witnessing their smiles both in the office and within our community brings me joy.
As a dentist, I love adding a personal touch to each person’s dental experience. Though my focus is on improving and maintaining oral health, I genuinely care about the individual as a whole. Through the years, I have had the pleasure to get to know many wonderful people and their families. Seeing them every six months, and keeping up with the changes in their lives, is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.

Whether I am repairing a patient’s functionality, restoring someone’s smile, or planning treatment for a complex case, I am always thinking about what is right for that individual person.
Throughout my career, I have stayed up to date on the most recent advances in dentistry. Each year has brought new technologies, materials, and methodologies. From changes in diagnostics and treatment planning to the treatment process and results, the field constantly improves.
My passion is cosmetic dentistry and improving people’s smiles and appearance. Through continuing education, I am able to provide the best experience and results for my patients, whether aesthetic or otherwise.

Beyond the Practice
Originally from Passaic, I have lived in Neshanic Station since 1977. My wife Silvia is an RN and former office manager of the practice. I have two adult children, Michael and Lisa, and five grandchildren.
If I’m not at the office, my priority is time with loved ones, especially my grandkids. I also enjoy playing golf, traveling, and I love good food — especially when shared with family and friends.
