Dr. Sara is a board certified pediatric dentist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She earned the 2021 Pugh Award, given to the top three percent of scores on the National Board Certification Exam, and she brings both clinical excellence and heartfelt compassion to every child she sees.

Through specialized programs and community outreach, she is building a supportive dental home for every child, from infancy into adulthood.

It includes pre-visit comfort surveys, therapy based desensitization sessions, social stories, personalized quiet visits, and take home sensory kits. Every step helps your child feel safe, prepared, and in control long before treatment begins.
