“I always wanted to be a dentist, as it was the perfect match for my skills and interests with helping people and improving their lives. Opening my own practice has allowed me to provide the highest level of dental care that I was trained to perform for all my patients, rather than work in corporate dentistry or managed care, where either the patient or I would be forced to make compromises in dental care.”

Dr. Lambert is focused on solving dental problems, relieving pain, and helping patients smile. Through his commitment to patients and hard work, he received numerous school honors, such as membership in several honors societies including Oral Surgery Honor Society, Endodontic Honor Society, Periodontal Honor Society, and Crown and Bridge Honor Society.
