Dr. Donny grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. His undergraduate studies led him to Fort Wayne, IN, where he met his wife, Rhea, while playing NCAA Division 1 soccer together. His academic career allowed him and Rhea to live in various parts of the country including Florida, Pennsylvania and Colorado.
While in dental school, Dr. Donny quickly learned he preferred working with children over adults because it allowed the opportunity to teach prevention at a young age. This notion was confirmed while being a part of a dental mission trip in Honduras that treated orphaned children.

Dr. Donny is privileged to work with children, 2 year old Vera and her almost 1-year old brother Leo, and be a part of their growth & development. He strives to arm children with tools and knowledge to combat dental disease. With an easy going personality and quirky dad jokes, children are relaxed and have fun during their dental visits. After all, it allows a part of him to remain a child as well.
Following the completion of his pediatric dental residency in Colorado, Dr. Donny and Rhea decided to move back to Indiana and be closer to family and establish roots. They are proud parents of their one year old daughter, Vera, who is excited for a new sibling to arrive soon.
In his free time, Dr. Donny enjoys everything sports related. He plays competitive soccer, loves to golf and run. Most importantly, he looks forward to spending time with Rhea, Vera, 2 dogs, friends and family.
Dr. Donny is thrilled to meet you in person and honored to be a part of our wonderful community.
