I moved to the Tampa Bay area in 1997 and have practiced the specialty of Endodontics in both private and group settings. My affiliation with Monticciolo Sedation and Family Dentistry began in 2006. Over the years, the demand for my specialty has continued to grow along with Monticciolo Sedation and Family Dentistry’s growth. I became the full-time staff Endodontist in 2018. My training and experience allow me to provide excellent care for the patients I treat.
