As an oral surgeon, I have the ability to make a difference in the life of each patient: by giving them a sense of security, restoring their confidence, and easing their pains. Nothing makes me happier than having an individual leave the office pleased with the work I have done and confident they have received the best possible care and service.
Education and Experience
I grew up in Long Valley, New Jersey and graduated from the University of Rochester with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology. I then attended the New Jersey Dental School, at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in Newark, where I obtained my Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) in 2001.
Following dental school, I was accepted into the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program at the Medical College of Virginia. In 2005 I completed my specialized training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Saint Vincent’s Catholic Medical Centers. I received my Certification from the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2007.
I have been in practice as an oral surgeon since 2005 and have had my own practice since 2008. Additionally, I have served on the medical staffs of Saint Vincent’s in Staten Island, St. Mary’s Hospital in Passaic, and Overlook Hospital in Summit. Currently, I have a residency at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood.
I have also taught as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the New Jersey Dental School, and was a member of the Executive Committee for the State Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

I am both proud of and humbled by the reputation Ramapo Oral Surgery holds in the community. We are known for providing high-quality, individualized clinical treatment in a caring and supportive environment.
Much of the success of the practice is due to my incredible, dedicated staff. Everyone works together as a team, assisting and encouraging one another in order to ensure each patient enjoys an attentive, courteous experience. My staff is polite, compassionate, personable, and strives to have a positive impact in the lives of the people we serve.
Professional Affiliations and Continuing Education
I am board-certified by and a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; a Diplomate of the American Society of Dental Anesthesiology; and a Fellow of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
Throughout the year I participate in numerous continuing educational opportunities, staying at the forefront of the latest advancements in oral health. Through active professional education, I ensure I am utilizing the most advanced instruments, technology, and methodologies to the benefit of my patients.
Beyond the Practice
When I leave the office in the evening, I return to my home in Matawan, where I enjoy the company of my German Shepherd. My dog along with my parents and two sisters, are my family and priorities when not seeing patients.
In addition to time with loved ones, I enjoy keeping healthy at the gym, playing Lacrosse, coaching Lacrosse for BBL, and volunteering at soup kitchens.
