Septemberr, 2004

  Allow me to introduce myself with a brief outline of my background and professional philosophy.

  Following my farm beginnings in Saskatchewan, I completed a Science degree in Winnipeg and my Dental degree in Toronto.  I spent several years in Canada’s north before turning to associateships and locums in Alberta and British Columbia.  I have found great satisfaction in devoting my skills to helping clinics through maternity leaves, medical absences, transitions to new owners and overcoming increased work loads.

            I consider myself conscientious and enthusiastic, striving for quality care, based on sound treatment planning.  Hygiene and prevention are my emphasis, leading to basic before extensive restorative treatment.

          I believe in the importance of informing patients of treatment options and personalizing treatment plans for long term oral health.

          It is my goal to provide the best quality care for each and every patient.  Through a team approach, I strive to create a pleasant environment for patients and staff.

Although I consider myself broadly experienced, I do not start orthodontic cases while in short term positions.  I particularly enjoy endodontics, surgery and especially, working with children of all ages.  I am continually working to improve my treatment and diagnostic skills in all areas.

              With several years experience in many different clinics, large and small, I am able to step into most situations with limited notice.  When possible, I prefer to spend part of a working day in a clinic, to meet staff and to review bookings and production expectations.

             I look forward to our meeting, to discuss how I may be of assistance.
