Meet The Doctor

I have been practicing dentistry since 1997. You can find a list of accomplishments and credentials below, but I’d really prefer that you get to know me as a person first. Life has been quite a journey, and I love where I am in life. I grew up in Willow Glen, California, but now reside in Saratoga with my husband and two young children. My goal in life is to maintain a healthy balance between my career and personal life.

With regard to my career, I love being a dentist; it is my passion. My patients are like family, and I want them to have a comfortable dental experience with excellent results. I make it a top priority to provide my patients with the latest procedures and treatments. I believe in beautiful healthy smiles.

In my personal life, I strive to be the best partner to my husband, best mom to my children and best daughter to my parents. Like many of us, I try to do it all, but there are moments when I wonder why…. Yet on those days when my patients are happy with their anterior veneers, or when I relieve a patient from miserable pain, or when my son comes up to me and proudly hands me a wilted dandelion, then I know it’s all worth it!

As for my credentials, I graduated from Willow Glen High in 1988 (seems so long ago). I have a B.S. in Physiology from UC Davis that I got in 1997, and a B.S. in Dental Materials from UC San Francisco, 1997. I also hold a Doctorate Degree in Dental Science from UC San Francisco, 1997.
