It is a privilege and honor to be a dentist. It's a trusted position in our community that I cannot take lightly. Being a dentist means treating each person with the same level of care I'd provide to a family member: professionally, compassionately, gently, and always with integrity.

I love my patients. It's fun and challenging to care for a five-year-old and teach them how to brush their teeth, then encourage a teenager to floss more regularly, and later in the day to talk with a 95-year-old about their oral health. I love seeing the broad spectrum of life and being able to offer assistance to everyone. After working in East Ventura for more than ten years, I've developed relationships with many families. Watching children become teens and then adults and having them feel like a member of my own family is lovely.

Every day, I'm challenged by dentistry. Each time I learn a new area of the profession, it's another tool in the toolbox that allows me to offer better treatment plans to my patients. I love that there is never any end to the number of things I can learn about my field, all focused on helping people develop and maintain excellent oral health and smiles.

My Education and Continuing Education

• After graduating with a Ph.D. from Loma Linda University, I Made it my mission to stay current with the rapidly advancing technology and trends in the dental field by focusing on continued education. 
• I completed a two-year constant education program from Progressive Orthodontic seminars and many other courses in endodontics and oral surgery. My goal is to never coast on my laurels but to continue to take classes to stay on the cutting edge. That's why we use the most current technology with our endodontic dental implants, digital X-rays, and scanners to replace impression material. With over 20 years of experience in the field and hundreds of hours of continued education, we can offer a wide range of treatment specialties in the office.
