It’s been over two months now since I joined the Cascadia Dentistry team so I wanted to take a moment to say hello to my new patients; to those that have already entrusted me with their dental care and to those I have not yet had the opportunity to meet personally. Every day I am reminded how friendly and welcoming this community is which just adds confidence to my decision to move my family to the Arlington-Stanwood area. You really have a wonderful community and I am eager to learn more about each of you and what our community has to offer.
My wife, Jill, and I moved here with our son Liam in September 2016. We are no strangers to this area as I attended Western Washington University and Jill grew up in Arlington with two parents in the Arlington school district. We chose this area because it is close to our families and because of the Cascadia Dentistry team and practice. The team here is knowledgeable, friendly and efficient and it is truly a pleasure to go to work every day!
I also wanted to ease patients’ minds by stating clearly that I intend to change as little as possible at your dental home. We will still offer the services you have grown accustomed to such as dental implant placement and restoration, sedation dentistry, oral surgery, oral cancer screenings, drill-free fillings, cosmetic dentistry and more. We continue to be focused on prevention, patient centered and minimally invasive care. Over the coming months we will be adding one additional operatory as well as investing in new dental technology as we continue to focus on the best patient care that we can possibly provide!
I look forward to getting to know each of you and your families and thank you for the opportunity you give me to serve you.
Someone recently told me that dentists are “gadgeteers.” I admit that’s a part of who I am. I love solving puzzles with really cool equipment and instruments; I’m a bit of a tooth engineer. But I think I’m more of a social creature. I never knew the full joy of dentistry until I figured out that I love what people and their stories bring to my life every workday. Throughout the years, I have learned so much about my team and you. It has been the most satisfying part of my career, because your lives have helped shape what I recommend and what I accomplish as your dentist. I appreciate the trust you have given me. And I’ve been grateful for the opportunity to learn about your lives.
