Dentist
Dental
I received my DDS from UMKC’s School of Dentistry, and I also was a dentist in Russia prior to immigrating to the U.S. I have had additional training and experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery. I am also fluent in English, Russian and Farsi. I love using my skills to help my patients live a life free of oral pain, and to help them maintain their oral health. When I am not at Sam Rodgers, I enjoy spending time with and cooking Miso Salmon my family and friends, as well as playing soccer.
