How He Approaches Patient Care
He is known for taking time with patients. He does what he says he will do, and he weighs each decision against what is best for the patient. He performs nearly every procedure in-house, including full mouth reconstruction.
Life Outside the Office
When he is not seeing patients, he is often hiking Colorado's fourteeners or competing in triathlons. He and his wife, Lauren, have two kids, Collin and Mia. He and the team also give back in Loveland, treating some Dental Lifeline patients at no cost and supporting local sports, including past donations to Loveland High School football and volleyball.
