BROADWAY SMILES - Key Persons
Dentistry encompasses all of my passions: psychology, artistry, perfectionism. I extend these same qualities to each patient I see by carefully listening to their concerns, walking them through their different treatment options, then ultimately creating something beautiful within their smile. This, along with my conservative approach and dedication to quality, are a perfect match for Broadway Smiles!
I graduated from The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School in 2004 and practiced in both Austin and San Antonio before following my heart to the Rocky Mountains. In 2005, I opened a popular and busy practice here in Boulder, giving me invaluable experience in all facets of dentistry, including surgical extractions, root canals, and implant restoration. As an active member of the American Dental Association, Colorado Dental Association, Boulder Broomfield County Dental Society, Academy of General Dentistry, International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, and Seattle Study Club, I surround myself with like-minded peers who challenge and encourage one another to be the best that we can be, all while staying current with the latest technologies dentistry has to offer.
Having just returned from five years overseas (Indonesia and Saudi Arabia), I am thrilled to be back in Boulder and joining Doctors Halek and Rathburn here at Broadway Smiles. My husband and I, along with our three young daughters, live right here in the heart of Boulder where we enjoy riding bikes and visiting local coffee houses.
I love practicing dentistry, seeing my patients every day, and treating everyone's individual needs. Keeping up with new dental technology and materials is very exciting and rewarding. Treating patients as we would want to be treated has always been our office credo. You will find our office relaxed, professional, friendly and caring.
I received my DDS degree from the University of Colorado Dental School in Denver and completed a general practice residency at Albert Einstein in Philadelphia. In 1993 I opened my own practice in Boulder and have been at this same Broadway location ever since. I was lucky enough to find an amazing partner in Dr. Tara Rathburn. Together we strive to provide you with the highest quality of dentistry possible.
I have always had a desire to help others, and found my niche' in dentistry. Since 1998, I have been licensed in dental assisting and radiology. After years of managing dental practices, I am blessed to be a team member and leader here at Broadway Smiles. I continue to not only educate myself but our wonderful patients we compassionately care for daily. Starting with your initial call, I'll help you better understand your dental insurance benefits, finances, and any dental procedures and questions you may have.
Raised in Leonardo, New Jersey, I am the proud mother of a son who keeps me smiling. We take advantage of all that Colorado has to offer athletically and spiritually.
I look forward to meeting you and caring for your family for many years to come.
