Practice Philosophy

At McFarlane Dental, we strive to deliver quality care, while making each patient as comfortable as possible. Our service-oriented professionalism comes from our desire to care for patients, preventing disease, and treating patients when they find themselves having an emergency. We try to follow an evidence-based dental practice model. This strategy means that we try to make our clinical practice reflect the best practices available. The only way we can do this is through continuing education (CE), which allows our practice to stay up to date with the latest scientific advances. Since graduating from the UT Health School of Dentistry in Houston, TX, I have completed over 290 hours of CE. The minimum necessary to fulfill the requirements is 12 hours of CE per year in the state of Texas, by rule. 290 + hours of CE means that I have finished more than 250 more hours of CE than the average dentist over the past 4 years, since 2008. I am seeking Fellowship in the AGD (Academy of General Dentistry), which means I am committed to lifelong learning.
