“I couldn’t ask for a more rewarding job. Nothing makes me happier than to be part of the transformation of a nervous new patient who is anxious to even chat with me in the conference room to a confident, smiling member of the Lund Dental family. I love the intellectual and technical parts of dentistry and being able to apply my skills to make a difference in someone’s life. And, I can truly say my job is fun. Catching up with patients, learning about their lives, and fostering long-term relationships makes each day enjoyable.”

I have been practicing as a general dentist for over 20 years at Lund Dental Associates in Stoneham, MA. While I love all aspects of dentistry, my passions are Invisalign (I became a certified provider in 2003) and cosmetic dentistry, including veneers and Bioclear.

Prior to becoming a dentist, I worked as a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs in New York City. Within the first year of my job, I knew a career in finance would not provide me with the job fulfillment for which I was looking. As a child I always knew how much my father loved his job; he described being a top-rated dentist as the perfect combination of science and engineering, technical skills, and interpersonal interactions. I applied to dental school on gut instinct, and it was the best decision I ever made.
