My practice philosophies consist of treating every patient in a way that I would like to be treated. I make sure to educate and motivate my patients so that they can prevent tooth decay, gum disease and other dental-related diseases. When given the opportunity to work with Dr. Hollingshead, who is very well known and respected, I did not hesitate to accept his offer of joining and ultimately purchasing his practice. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with honors from the University of Minnesota. I continued my education at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry where I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery at age 24. Immediately after graduation, I started my first practice in Minneapolis. In 2000 my family and I moved to Las Vegas. I owned and operated a few dental offices throughout the Las Vegas Valley: Westcliff Dental, Eclipse Dental, and Aary Dental.
