About Us

Our Philosophy

The staff of our practice are charged by Dr. Dave with a simple goal: "Let's recommend what's best for the patient, but always provide the patient with the dental care that they want. We should provide the care that fits their specific needs."

  • In practice for more than 30 years, I pride myself in helping my patients make informed decisions about their dental care.
  • I always want my patients to decide what is best for them. And I will do my best to explain everything and all your options for treatment.
  • I practice by 'The Golden Rule', to treat people how I would want to be treated. This goes hand in hand with caring for you like I would care for my family. But I won't ask to borrow your mower!
