Orthodontics gives me the chance to help my patients on an individual level. When I help give them the gift of a smile, that smile helps them open doors for the rest of their lives. I love seeing the impact that a straight set of teeth has on a person; to see their confidence blossom in front of my eyes is incredibly rewarding. It is a privilege and an honor to be trusted with the job of developing a smile and I take this responsibility very seriously.

I received my dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania, where I graduated at the top of my class.  I was elected Class President by my peers in dental school as well as in my orthodontic residency at Tufts University.  I am proud to be one of the only Ivy League trained doctors practicing in the Claremont and Lakewood areas.

Everyone on our team is as passionate about orthodontics as I am, and it shows. We treat each new patient with courtesy and respect, and welcome them into our office as if they are family. You will see that we have a great time in the office and that we are truly excited about being in the business of building smiles. As one of the youngest orthodontists in the country to achieve a Board Certification, I bring a level of professionalism to every case in accordance with the highest and most respected level of accrediation that can be achieved in orthodontics.

I am originally from Diamond Bar and now reside in Pasadena with my wife and our puppy, Paz. Though Paz was tiny when we took the picture above, she has definitely been getting bigger by the day. I love hiking, walking Paz, going on bike rides, reading, watching football and basketball, traveling, and photography. I look forward to helping you create your most beautiful smile.
