While in residency I received many “Rose Awards” which was awarded to dentists with most patient satisfaction. I am a member of ADA, CDA, San Diego Dental society, and Academy of General Dentistry.
Outside of the office I enjoy painting, Yoga , and taking my daughter to LEGOLAND and the Zoo. I am also involved with many volunteer/charity organizations such as Give Kids a Smile. I love dentistry and take pride in my work. Most patients are fearful of being in the dental chair, and my goal is to make them feel comfortable and at ease so they can achieve a beautiful and healthy smile. I have completed a sedation course and offer conscious sedation for patients who want to overcome their dental anxiety.”
