Dentistry is exciting and very rewarding. Taking steps to become a better person and dentist is a lifelong process and motivates me. The patients I have met have made a huge difference in my life, and I hope that helping them have great oral health has made a difference in theirs.

Education

I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of California San Diego. I then attended the University of Southern California where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.

Continuing Education

I am a graduate of the Kois Center, have completed courses on Advanced Bone Grafting at the Pikos Institute, took a nine month Implant training program at the Misch Implant Institute, trained in the usage of Puros block allograft, completed Implant training at Zimmer's Institute, and completed an IV sedation course. All of the time I have spent learning new things and keeping up to date on current technology directly influences the care I am able to give my patients.
