     My parents encouraged me to pursue any dream I desired that would involve helping others.  My father was a dentist in Honolulu, HI and I witnessed his joy in helping patients and developing long term relationships.  As a second generation dentist, I feel blessed to be able to continue his legacy of bringing dental health to others.  I encourage my daughter to consider dentistry as a career, because I get to work with friend's everyday and make new ones daily.  I believe the success of our practice is a result of the commitment we have to providing dental excellence. I value the trust our patients have in our integrity.
