He keeps the day-to-day operations running smoothly, has an open-door policy, and enjoys working with talented and compassionate professionals.
In his spare time, Eric loves spending time with his family. He is a die-hard Golden State Warriors and Oakland Raiders fan. He loves to golf, drink scotch, and have a nice cigar once in a while. Eric looks forward to meeting and serving you here at Monarch Dentistry of Gold Hill.
