BRADLEY SHEPARD, DDS

"For me, being a dentist means that I have the opportunity to provide an extremely healthy service to people in the most pleasant manner possible. In doing so, I have developed trusting relationships and lasting friendships with my patients. One of the great joys of practicing in the financial district is the variety of patients who walk through our door every day. Each one brings unique goals and desires regarding their oral health. It is my goal to do everything humanly possible to make dentistry as pleasant an experience as I can, so that our patients walk out of our office not only satisfied, but surprised by their experience."

WINSTON YOUNG, DDS

“I was always fascinated with the health sciences. Dentistry created a great avenue for me because of the direct patient interactions and the physical nature of using my hands and creating art. I like educating patients because it’s important to understand what is happening to your health. I make it a point to be transparent. Throughout my career as a dentist, I’ve been privileged to meet people from all over the world and to form many friendships. I aim to make your dental visits informative and comfortable, and I hope to make you smile along the way!”
