My educational background commences with my degree in Biology from Johns Hopkins University. I then completed a Masters in Molecular Genetics at the University of Virginia. Following this, I was accepted to the Advanced Professional Training Program at Maryland Dental School.  Subsequently, I served on the full time house staff in the Comprehensive Care unit of Johns Hopkins Hospital.

I purchased my practice in Bethesda in 1978. Its history dates back to 1925 when Dr. Burke practiced from his home in Washington DC.

I am a Fellow of the Misch Implant Institute. I have obtained certificates for the completion of implant surgery and prosthetic restoration courses, together with bone grafting courses for sinus augmentation surgery and premaxilla bone grafting. I am a Diplomat of the International Congress of Oral Implantology.

My extensive studies in the field of sedation and cosmetic dentistry allow me to create magnificent smiles using the most state of the art materials, in the most relaxed environment. I am proud to be an amalgam free office.  I am a member of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology and certified for IV and oral sedation.  I have been using sedation techniques for over ten years and know you will be pleased with the gentle approach to care provided with sedation dentistry.

Please feel free to contact me to provide you with any assistance or if you would like any further information. Thank you for the opportunity to share these exciting fields of dentistry."
