Hi, I’m AJ. Faces are personal—so is how I care for them.
I’m a board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon focused on corrective jaw surgery. I chose this field because it sits exactly where function meets identity—how you bite, breathe, and feel about the face you see in the mirror.
My promise is simple: you’ll never feel rushed, talked down to, or sold to. We’ll make the decision together, with the full picture in front of us.
Away from the OR, I’m a father of six and happiest outside — on a bike, a boat, or a mountain. It’s the same steadiness I bring into the operating room.

A decade-plus of focused training
Corrective jaw surgery asks a surgeon to be two things at once: a physician who understands the whole patient, and a craftsman who plans millimeters. Here’s the training behind that.
What you can expect from me
Time to understand
Consults are unhurried. You’ll leave knowing your diagnosis, options, and the honest trade-offs of each.
Precision planning
Every case is planned digitally before the day of surgery—so the result is designed, not improvised.
With you after, too
Recovery is a relationship. You’ll have a direct line and clear milestones from week one onward.
Orthognathic surgery changes how a person eats, sleeps, breathes, and meets the world. Getting it right is equal parts medicine and judgment—and it’s the most rewarding thing I do. If you’re weighing it, my job is to give you a clear, honest picture so the decision is yours.

Let’s start with a conversation.
Most patients leave a consult simply understanding their options better. That alone is worth the visit.
