I love what I do because I have the privilege to help my patients maintain good oral health and give them a better smile. It is very exciting to find and design the best treatment plan possible for each patient's needs. Furthermore, I like being able to build strong relationships with patients through longstanding positive experiences and mutual trust.

Education

I received my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of California Los Angeles before continuing on to dental school at the University of Southern California where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.

Continuing Education

I have spent multiple hours on continuing education, including Invisalign orthodontics, IV sedation by the Oregon Academy of General Dentistry, Aspun Dental Implant Research and Education Center, and Milennium Implant Dentistry. I have pursed advanced training in many areas, including cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, and full mouth reconstruction at institutions such as the Kois Center. I believe that my knowledge and skill in various fields of dentistry will help my patients to achieve healthy and beautiful oral health, as well as enhance the quality of their lives. I will continually strive to understand my patient’s individual needs while upholding myself to the highest standards of integrity, morality and ethics.
