In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my 5-year-old son and family. I also love cooking delicious meals and being outdoors with friends and loved ones.
For me, dentistry is not just about treating teeth—it's about supporting overall health. I believe in a holistic approach, meeting patients where they are and treating them the way they wish to be treated. This builds trust, confidence, and comfort. I stand by the belief that 'Behind every healthy smile is a story of care, precision, and compassion.'

My husband had a tooth break in his denture. For most people this wouldn’t be a problem. For us it becomes a dilemma. My husband suffers from Cataplexy (symptoms of Narcolepsy) and anything new or anxiety provoking causes him to feel like he is losing control and causes panic attacks. If I accompany him, it helps, but what really helped was the fact that the receptionists, the hygienist and the dentist were ALL so friendly and helpful! This put my husband at ease and helped him get through the process of getting his tooth in his denture fixed. Midwest Dental was also able to send his denture to the lab in the early am and my husband got his repaired denture back later that same afternoon! There is more. While I was waiting for my husband to have his exam, a Spanish speaking individual came into the office for assistance. This individual was able to get help through a translator and the staff were able to communicate to this person what they needed to know to make an appointment and get the services they needed! I was more than impressed!!! I would most certainly recommend Midwest Dental to everyone!

I feel the procedure was well done and no issues. I will be going back in the future.

It was a good experience concidering what I had to have done. I was very nervous, a big baby, but the Doctor and his assistant were very calming and seemed to care about my insecurities.
