What I love most about my profession is interacting with patients and their families, building strong, lasting relationships. It’s incredibly rewarding to boost the confidence of my patients, whether they’re students at our local schools or professionals in the workforce.
Coming from a family of educators, I value the importance of education deeply. I’ve spent years teaching Arabic to children in the community, and I place a high priority on educating my patients about their treatments. My goal is to make the “why” behind our treatment clear and understandable.
Education
My academic journey took me to the University of Minnesota, where I earned degrees in Dentistry (DDS ’21) and Biomedical Engineering (BS’16/MS ‘21). Furthering my expertise, I completed additional training in Orthodontics (MS ’24) at Marquette University, along with an Orthodontics Specialty Certificate.
I am proud to be a member of several professional organizations:
- American Association of Orthodontists (AAO)
- Midwest Society of Orthodontists (MSO)
- American Dental Association (ADA)
Outside the Office
I am passionate about both active and relaxing pursuits, from invigorating runs and cycling sessions to enjoyable socializing and cooking. During my time at Marquette University, I met my wife on a memorable 100-mile round trip bike ride from Illinois to Wisconsin. Now, I’m fortunate to start my family in the Chicagoland suburbs and am excited to grow within a community that has welcomed me so warmly!
