Patient Impact

"I feel even in the smallest situations I can make a big impact with a patient, and it doesn't have to be any cosmetics or full mouth reconstruction. I had a patient with a terrible dental phobia that came in last week and we only did one filling and her phobia was lessened. She is now considering coming back for some cosmetic dental work."

Personal Quote

"We try to provide a friendly and professional environment where the patient can feel comfortable. I always educate my patients about their dental treatment as if they were my own family. Every treatment is done with the utmost care and attention to detail. Our team always makes an effort to follow up on each treatment and ensure the patient's comfort."

Haley enjoys traveling and spending time with her fiancé doing outdoor activities. She enjoys fishing, going to concerts and finding new restaurants.

Patient Impact

"I had a young man with red swollen infected gums that he believed were so far gone, he gave up on brushing altogether because they hurt too much. At first, he wouldn't even let me touch him, but I gained his trust. I scaled his teeth, he changed his brushing and flossing habits at home, and his gums were restored to health, along with his confidence."

Personal Quote

“I hope I can make an impact on a patient concerning their periodontal health. I would like to inspire them to change any bad habits, motivate them to begin better ones, and get them interested and involved in their dental health.”

Personal Favorites

Haley’s favorite movies are foreign films.

Patient Impact

"A patient's mother called and asked for a copy of her daughter's x-rays. She explained that her daughter was in extreme pain and she was going to drive her x-rays to the insurance company to expedite the oral surgery. Turns out the company was based in Irvine, California where I would be in a meeting the next day. While in Irvine I took the girls x-rays and brought them to the company. She was approved for extractions and the daughter had the treatment done by the end of the week. I was happy to help our patient out and help relieve her pain."
