Dear Valued Patient,
Life has been anything but normal this spring and we sincerely hope you and your family are in good health. We are happy to inform you that we are now able to once again provide dental care for you. The Ministry of Health has lifted the restrictions placed back on March 15, 2020 on dental services. While many things have changed since then, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety.
Our office has always followed strict infection control standards and in order to keep us all protected during this pandemic and in the future, we have updated our protocols. When we see you at your next appointment, things will be a little different.
I am proud to say that I was born and raised in Leamington. I began my studies at the University of Windsor, where I earned three degrees in Mathematics & Biology, Education, and Masters of Science. I then completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery through the University of Detroit Mercy.
I was fortunate enough to achieve multiple awards upon graduating from dental school - The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons presented me with the top dental surgical award while The Academy of Operative Dentistry presented me with the top operative dentistry (dental fillings) award. I have since gained Fellowship status from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. It is my hope to use my passion for dentistry to provide excellent patient care.
I have always been fully committed to Windsor/Essex. This is where I live with my amazing wife, Ghada and our three wildly independent children, Princesses Cadence, Ariya and Eliana. My commitment to our local community is best exemplified with the founding of a registered charity that gives back to local patients who are undergoing active cancer therapy, the Love, Betty Cancer Foundation.
Being the daughter of a nurse, it's no surprise that I chose a career in health care. I love working in dentistry and truly enjoy the relationships that caring for my patients allows me. I have found the challenges of customizing dental treatment based on knowing my patients' individual needs and desires extremely rewarding. I also enjoy the artistic outlet that dentistry allows me.
Originally from Amherstburg, Ontario, I graduated from the dental school at the University of Western Ontario in 1994. I have been fortunate to have been able to serve the community of LaSalle for 22 years as an associate dentist and now as a practice owner. Part of what keeps dentistry exciting for me is continually updating my knowledge and skills through ongoing participation in study clubs, lectures, workshops and online learning.
I currently reside in South Windsor with my husband Len, my two daughters Kristen and Erin and our bunny Rocky. I am an avid runner and enjoy working in my garden, reading and spending time with family and friends.
was born and raised in LaSalle, Ontario. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Windsor and obtained an Honours Bachelor of Science degree with majors in both Biology and Psychology. I completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Detroit Mercy maintaining Dean’s List throughout my education. Dentistry has been such a rewarding profession for me since it has allowed me to combine my passions for science, art and patient-centered care.
I pride myself in providing the best possible care I can for my patients and I treat my patients like I would my own family. I enjoy learning and keeping up to date with the newest techniques and innovations in dentistry by attending multiple continuing education courses every year. I am especially passionate about cosmetic dentistry and oral surgery.
I am an active member of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, the Canadian Dental Association, the Ontario Dental Association and the Essex County Dental Association.
I currently live in Windsor and my interests include travelling, maintaining an active lifestyle, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.

I was trained as a Dental Assistant and went on to receive a Diploma in Dental Hygiene.

My love for dentistry started when I was a patient and I have always been drawn to this field because of my positive experiences. I am honored to be working with such wonderful dentists, whose main objective is to provide our patients with the best dental care that each patient deserves.
