I grew up in Northern California and was drawn to healthcare at an early age by a desire to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives. That passion ultimately led me to dentistry, where I had the opportunity to combine technical skill with caring for others. I earned both my Bachelor of Science (BS) and Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degrees from the University of the Pacific. Following graduation, I completed a General Practice Residency in New York, further strengthening my clinical skills and ability to treat a wide range of patient needs.
I went on to practice general dentistry in both New York and California, where I gained valuable experience in delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. During this time, I discovered a passion for endodontics and the critical role it plays in preserving patients’ natural teeth. Motivated by this interest, I pursued advanced specialty training in endodontics at the University of Minnesota.
As an endodontist, I enjoy the technical challenges of my field as well as the opportunity to relieve pain and restore comfort in a single visit. I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care, with a strong emphasis on patient education and creating a comfortable, stress-free experience.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new restaurants, being outdoors, reading, and traveling
