Coming to the dentist for kids (and yes, even for adults too) is no easy task! Everyone at DFC shares a similar goal: to create a “kid-friendly” environment where families feel welcome, and receive care that is unique to their childs’ needs. I try to treat everyone as if I am treating my own son or daughter. Through my appointments, I encourage communication – whether it’s through welcoming questions, singing songs to the “little” ones, educating families on how to prevent cavities, or explaining the steps of a procedure – I find that children pick up on the positive vibes and thrive in these kinds of environments. My approach during care is to give children a sense of control, and to motivate children to take care of their own dental health to prevent problems as they get older. I look forward to seeing you in the clinic where we can share some stories, give “high-fives”, and most importantly, make coming to the dentist a rewarding experience!

Personal Life
I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario and love all things sports, especially the Leafs Blue Jays, Raptors, and Buffalo Bills. I was recently living in Rochester, New York completing my specialty training and working in private practice for a year after graduation. My wife and I recently welcomed identical twin boys into the world. It’s been an exciting, and busy time to say the least! As a family, we enjoy the outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and settling into our new home in the Aurora/Newmarket area.
