I have chosen a career in Dentistry to improve the quality of life of my patients by providing them a healthier mouth and a brighter smile. I obtained my dental education at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and graduated top percentile of my class. During my training at UCSF, I was granted numerous scholarships for outstanding academic achievement, professionalism, and leadership. Upon graduation, I was then nominated and inducted as a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) National Dental Honor Society.
In order to further solidify and advance my knowledge and skills as a dental practitioner, I completed a year of General Practice Residency with the VA Northern California Health Care System, where I gained experiences in advanced dental procedures and provided personalized comprehensive care to many medically complex veteran patients. It is through my close relationships with my patients that I have become a more mature, sensitive, and compassionate care provider.
I have been practicing general dentistry since in private practice setting. I am dedicated to delivering high quality and patient centered comprehensive care to a broad spectrum of patient populations and I strive for excellence and professionalism through empathy, communication, patient education, and team effort. Preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry have been my favorite aspects of my practice. I also enjoy practicing oral surgery, endodontics, fixed & removable prosthodontics, restorative implant, and pediatric dentistry. I am a current member of American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and Stanislaus Dental Society.
My husband and I moved to Central Valley from Sacramento in 2018 and we’ve been enjoying our life here. We like to go cherry picking every year. Hiking and taking road trips are our favorite things to do during our free time. I share my husband’s passion about cars and I also have a special interest in Orca.
I am very excited to be a part of Deer Park Dental. I look forward in meeting you and taking care of your dental needs.
