A board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Chris works hard to provide children, teens, and people with special needs high-quality care. “I love helping children experience life with happy, healthy smiles,” he says. He considers himself fortunate to work with a fantastic team equally passionate about providing kids an excellent experience and treatment.

Dr. Chris achieved his doctorate at the University of Kentucky in 2003, followed by his pediatric dentistry certificate in 2005.

When he’s not at the office, Dr. Chris enjoys bicycling, golfing, playing tennis, hiking, and spending time on the water. He is married to Christine. He has one fur baby, a red Labrador retriever named Bourbon. Dr. Chris grew up in Kentucky and has lived in North Carolina since 2012, minus a short stint in Colorado in 2018. “I love North Carolina and the people who live here,” he says. As an active member of the community, you can find him at church services and volunteering for the local Special Olympics’ Healthy Athletes program. One day, Dr. Chris wants to sail around the world!
