About me
I'm a prosthodontist and maxillofacial prosthodontist. I have over 25 years of experience helping patients restore function, appearance and quality of life after some of life's most challenging experiences including cancer, trauma and conditions present from birth.
My work focuses on the rehabilitation of complex oral and facial defects. That means I create and fit specialized prostheses to replace or restore structures that have been lost or significantly altered, whether that's a palate, a jaw, an eye, an ear or a nose.
I also provide full-mouth rehabilitation and implant-supported restorations, including All-on-Four implant solutions, for patients who need comprehensive reconstructive care.
Whatever the challenge, my goal is always the same: to help each patient regain the ability to eat, speak and move through the world with confidence.
The conditions I treat often have profound effects on daily life, and I take that seriously. I work closely with surgeons, oncologists and other specialists to make sure every treatment plan is coordinated, thorough and tailored to each person's functional and aesthetic needs. I believe that technical excellence and genuine compassion aren't separate things, they belong together in every patient encounter.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy kayaking, spending time with my family and giving back through community service.

Before scheduling an appointment
- Check your network. If you have health insurance, call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
