People have always been important to me, and I hope to become a real part of the community. Prior to becoming a dentist, I spent five years working with at risk teens. It was while teaching in the Dominican Republic that I met a Round Rock girl and in the late '90s I moved to Austin to marry her. After receiving my DDS in 2004 from Howard University, we returned to raise our children and establish our lives in our hometown.

We understand that choosing a dentist is an important and difficult decision for many people and we thank you for your interest in Tucker Family Dentistry. Our aim is that each patient feels that his health and wishes are important to my staff and me. Every decision is based on the premise that the quality of your life is the most important factor. To that end we have chosen technology that reduces your paperwork and the time a dental visit requires as well as being safer for both the patient and the environment. In building our office we were mindful of the most common complaints I have heard in my past practice. We have a relaxed, friendly setting, quieter equipment, television screens for education and entertainment at every chair, and we offer two levels of conscious sedation. My staff will treat every person with respect and I will provide the highest quality of work with the minimum of discomfort.

I love being a dentist.  My goal is to provide patients with superb care while ensuring that they feel comfortable and well informed regarding their oral health.  As a general dentist I enjoy treating patients of all ages and varying dental needs. A smile is a beautiful way to communicate happiness, and I want all of my patients to have healthy smiles.  

I grew up in Wisconsin, then moved to Utah where I earned my bachelors of science at Brigham Young University. Next it was on to Philadelphia, where  I graduated with honors from Temple University with a doctorate in dental medicine (DMD.) Austin is where my husband and I call home, and we love it here.  When I am not working I enjoy biking, yoga, painting, and traveling.
