Education and Continuing Education

I earned my bachelor’s degree in anthropology with distinction from Yale University, then went on to receive my dental education at Columbia University, where I was president of the orthodontic society. After dental school, I completed a three-year residency in orthodontics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center.

I achieved board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics.

More About Smiles Change Lives


“One program that is dear to my heart is the smile change lives program. It offers patients from under-served areas who don’t have the ability to receive orthodontic treatment a chance to get that treatment pro bono.”
