His Approach to Dental Care

Becoming board-certified has always been an important goal for Dr. Brian, as he believes it represents one of the highest honors in pediatric dentistry. He is committed to providing evidence-based care and personalized treatment plans tailored to each child's needs.

 

Dr. Brian stays up to date with the latest dental technology and uses digital X-rays and electronic charts to support patient education and treatment planning. He also believes parents play an essential role in their child's oral health, encouraging them to ask questions, share concerns, and stay involved in their child's dental care.

Outside the Office

Originally from the Memphis area, Dr. Brian loves exploring new foods and trying different cuisines. He and his Corgi, Bud, enjoy going on food adventures together. Dr. Brian is willing to try almost anything, as long as it isn't moving. Even then, he might still give it a try!

​

In his spare time, Dr. Brian enjoys playing basketball, table tennis, and swimming. He's also a devoted Razorbacks fan who loves cheering on the Hogs whenever he gets the chance. And, of course, he loves spending time playing with Bud, his four-legged best friend.

Bud

Chief Belly Rub Officer

Bud is the longest tenured employee at Nashville Pediatric Dentistry. 

When he’s not busy catching up on his beauty sleep, Bud loves welcoming our little patients with a wagging tail and plenty of love. 

 

His favorite things? Belly rubs, playing fetch, long walks on the beach, and, of course, treats!

 

If Bud drops his ball at your feet, consider it an invitation to play! He might even be more popular with the kids than Dr. Brian. Bud takes his afternoon naps very seriously, but when he’s awake, he can’t wait to see your smiling faces!
