I have truly loved every minute that I have been a dentist! It completely fulfills me to be around my amazing team and wonderful patients. I am a people person and love that I spend my days interacting with my patients while taking care of them as well.
It’s so important for me to get to know my patients in order to learn about their expectations for their smile and their oral health. This helps us create a relationship founded on mutual trust that will instill loyalty and be long lasting! We want patients to feel like part of our family, where we genuinely care about them as more than just a patient.
Education and Experience
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to work in healthcare. I worked as a dental assistant in high school and really loved the hands-on approach to patient care, as well as the artistic component. The rest, as they say, is history!
I attended the University of Southern California and received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences. I continued on to the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston and received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery, where I graduated as valedictorian receiving the coveted Walter G. Sterling Award for Excellence. I stayed on at UT-affiliated Hermann Hospital to complete a prestigious general practice residency program.
As a member of Spear Education and local study clubs, I’ve been able to elevate my clinical and patient skills. This allows me to continually rediscover my passion for dentistry, which has helped me transform my practice and the lives of my patients! Continuing my education also enables me to stay on top of the latest and greatest in products, technology, and techniques. Of course, all of this benefits my patients!

In the Office
I pride myself on my amazing team! They are all dedicated, loyal, kind and warm. They love our patients and go above and beyond to provide an exceptional patient experience!
My team cares about the patients, gets to know them on a personal level, and provides the best clinical care. I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without them!
Family and Community
I have been happily married for more than 25 years to my wonderful husband Danny. We have two girls: Alexis, lives in Norman, Oklahoma working and living her best life, and Kylie, who is a sophomore in college. Our family wouldn’t be complete without our dogs Pringle and Dixie. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy working out, traveling, spending time outside, reading, and spending time with my friends and family.
I enjoy giving back to the community and being part of organizations that do so much for Bellaire as well as the surrounding Houston area. I am a lifetime member of National Council of Jewish Women and a volunteer committee member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
