Training & Organizations

Education, Training & Affiliated Organizations

I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN, and served my residency in Nashville, TN and New York City, NY, where I learned the theory and practice of anesthesiology, surgery and trauma in both inpatient and outpatient environments.

When I moved to San Antonio, TX., in 2002 to begin my private practice, I volunteered my dental services for indigent care in the Barrio Comprehensive Care in San Antonio.  This experience reinforced my knowledge about how proper sedation, laser dentistry and innovative technology are so critical to the comfort, care and recovery periods for patients.

After four years in San Antonio, I had the opportunity to take over Dr. Martin Siegel’s practice in Tyson’s Corner, McLean VA presented itself. From there, I have relocated and am now serving patients in Mitchellville, MD.
