Welcome to Our Office!

Many patients enjoy learning a little about their provider’s background and experience. I was born in Mountain View and raised in Menlo Park, California. I attended preparatory school in Atherton before earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Athletic Training from Long Beach State University.

I began my professional career as an Athletic Trainer, where I had the opportunity to work with a variety of professional athletes throughout the Peninsula. This experience sparked my interest in dentistry and ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in the field. I went on to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, graduating in 2002.

For more than a decade, I owned and operated a private dental practice in Milpitas. Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to lifelong learning and continuing education, completing extensive advanced training to expand my clinical expertise and provide the highest level of care to my patients.  I currently serve as President of our 661 member local component Dental Society which is part of the California Dental Association. 

My philosophy is centered on providing high-quality, patient-centered dental care in an environment built on comfort, trust, and open communication. My goal is not only to address each patient’s immediate needs, but also to help them achieve and maintain excellent long-term oral health. Together with my dedicated team, I strive to create a welcoming, professional experience where every patient feels valued and cared for.

My family and I live in Pleasanton.  Outside of the office, I enjoy traveling, fishing, and hiking.  My recent travels have taken me to Tokyo japan and more recently, Machu Picchu in Peru.  I look forward to welcoming you to our office and having the opportunity to care for you and your family.
