Board Certified Pediatric Dentist

My Story

Dentistry is not just a job for me, it’s my calling and my passion. At 2 years old, I was diagnosed with cancer.

From the three years that followed, I still have vivid memories of being in the hospital and seeing so many sick kids. For me and the other kids, the doctors and nurses were the real superheroes. They made the hospital a sanctuary and safe haven for each one of us.

Though I’ve been in remission since I was 5, it was an experience I’ll never forget. And, it powerfully shaped my future.

So for me, pediatric dentistry goes beyond smile care to include child psychology and overall wellbeing. That’s why it’s my personal passion to create a fun and adventurous experience for every little superhero I get to come alongside as a sidekick.

Fun Superhero
Story

One unforgettable day in King of Prussia, a bold and fearless five-year-old named Leo, strode into Dr. Deep’s dental refuge bearing his Captain America shirt – to Leo, it was more than a shirt, it was his superhero cape.  He was ready to engage Dr. Deep and display his heroic valor during his checkup. Alas, Dr. Deep was far away in Florida training other dental heroes. Undaunted, Leo jumped on FaceTime to reach the good doctor. After a short mission briefing and a quick picture together, Dr. Deep encouraged Leo to seize the day. That beautiful moment, forever captured in an iconic photo, remains a cherished memory for Dr. Deep, and Superhero Leo.
