Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

In Ontario we are fortunate to have talented and dedicated professionals delivering quality dental care. Practicing dentistry part-time in the Caribbean, makes me proud of the level and quality care offered in Ontario. What I believe separates one practitioner from the other is not only technical skill but knowledge, experience and a firm understanding of one's own limitations. I believe that listening to your client is one of the greatest assets a doctor can have. Know your client well. Clearly understand that every client has individual needs and specific concerns that warrants careful thought in every recommendation and procedure offered. There is no textbook on caring.

What are you proud of in your practice?

With years of clinical experience I am proud to see longevity in dental work provided to clients over those years. What resonates true is "never think you know it all and know that the next day is still a learning day". I am able to spend time with my clients so they can ask the questions they need to and feel comfortable in doing so. Acceptance of treatment by our clients is not just hearing a yes to our recommendations but a yes from a fully informed perspective.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

We have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to the practice of dentistry. Our challenge lies in our ability to diagnose, treatment plan with options, communication and delivering treatment well within the realm of our skill set. My passion is helping those where others cannot. I welcome the challenges of diagnosis and treatment planning to find real solutions with options for clients.
