My enthusiasm for dentistry and orthodontics began at an early age. As the son and grandson of dentists, I grew up with the awareness of the importance of dental health. I was also aware of how my father and grandfather enjoyed their work, and how rewarding they found the relationships they built with their patients. As a specialist in orthodontics, I am fascinated by the science of craniofacial growth and tooth movement, paired with the artistic elements of visualizing and achieving beautiful results.
Education
- Bachelor of Arts – University of Pennsylvania, 1982
- Doctorate of Dental Surgery – University of Minnesota, 1990
- Master of Science and Orthodontic Certificate – University of Michigan, 1993
Continuing education is critical to my ability to provide the most up-to-date, scientifically supported, and effective treatment for my patients. It is also interesting and stimulating, and it provides the opportunity for me to work with and compare treatment methodologies with my peers and colleagues. Since I started practicing orthodontics, I have regularly taken courses sponsored by professional orthodontic associations, both locally and nationally.

Our office has earned a reputation for being comfortable and cozy, just like home. This is made possible because our team feels like a family. We are enthusiastic about your care and loyal to our community.
Outside the Office
I am originally from New Haven, CT, and currently reside in Flemington, NJ, with my wife, Roberta. We have three daughters named Vanessa, Ilana, and Alison. I enjoy home and yard improvement projects as well as outdoor recreation, such as biking and hiking. I’m also a very enthusiastic sports fan and am particularly obsessed with the New York Yankees and the Michigan Wolverines. I enjoy coaching youth sports and am currently serving on the Board of Trustees for the Hunterdon County YMCA.
