Biography
I am passionate about helping children achieve and maintain excellent oral health through high-quality, compassionate dental care. I earned my dental degree in Brazil, where I served as a dentist and lieutenant in the Air Force for 10 years, focusing on pediatric and orthodontic treatments.
After moving to the United States, I completed a dental residency at the Miller School of Medicine. These unique professional and life experiences have shaped my patient-centered approach, which emphasizes comfort, education, and personalized care. I also have specialized experience in treating patients with special needs. I am fluent in Portuguese and English,and Spanish.
My goal is to help every child feel confident about their smile and motivated to maintain their oral health. If your child needs dental treatment—or simply encouragement to develop healthy habits—I am here to provide the support and care they deserve.
