Being an orthodontist for the past 13 years has been more satisfying than I could have ever imagined. There is nothing better than helping the people in my community fulfill their desire for a beautiful smile. Being in a profession that has a positive effect on so many people has always been my life goal, and seeing the smiling faces come through my office is a reward that has no price.
Education and Continuing Education
I attended California State University, Long Beach, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. My dental education was received at Oregon Health Sciences University where I graduated with my Doctorate of Dental Medicine. I continued on at OHSU to earn my certificate in the specialty of orthodontics.
I attend many continuing education courses throughout the year to keep up-to-date with the orthodontic and dental fields. As a member of three study clubs focusing on orthodontics and multi-specialty dentistry, I am able to learn about emerging technology and treatment options to better serve my patients.
