Health and fitness have been a big interest of mine for over 40 years. It inspired me to become a dentist and to practice in an ancestrally based way. I believe that there are lessons to be learned from our ancestors that can shape and transform our destiny –

“Study the past if you would define the future” – Confucius

PRACTICE

My practice focuses on creating healthier (and happier) patients through a comprehensive approach. I combine modern dentistry methods, nutrition, integrative, and wellness care. Being a General Dentist, and partner since 1989 at  Dental Associates of CT  - a large, multi-specialty group that includes Orthodontic, Periodontic, Oral Surgery, Hygiene, Cosmetic, Pediatric, and Sleep issue teams - allows me the opportunity to effectively treat almost all my patients dental needs under one roof. It also makes coordination of treatment between specialists much easier.

EDUCATION

I received my DDS from Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery in NYC, with a concentration in TMJ disorders. I also interned with the USCG in Alameda, CA and then received a Fellowship in Advanced General Dentistry at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

It’s important to me to be constantly learning as I feel it is the best way to serve my patients. So in addition to attending conferences/seminars to stay up to date on advances in the dental field, I also study other medical specialties. I graduated from, and recently became an advisor to the first-ever paleo-based functional medicine program in the world: The ADAPT program of the Kresser Institute for Functional and Evolutionary Medicine.

AWARDS

I was voted one of Connecticut’s Top Dentists by Connecticut Magazine in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

There are a number of dental and medical organizations I belong to. These include the Connecticut State Dental Association, the Greater Danbury Dental Society, the American Dental Association, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the International Association of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) where I was certified in the safe removal of silver (mercury) fillings. I’m also part of the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network and the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM), He Paleo Physicians Network, Primal Docs and the Ancestral Health Society.
