As a Santa Clara native, I take great pride in serving the community in which I grew up. One of the most thrilling aspects of being a community dentist is never knowing what familiar face will walk through my doorfriends from Santa Clara University, teammates from Bellarmine, or teachers from grade school. Equally enjoyable, though, are the friendships to be made with the new faces that are welcomed into my practice.
My dental education began at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. I graduated with Highest Honors in 1996. I then completed a General Practice Residency at UCLA the following year.
I am an avid sports fan and offer this advice: If you want to stall the inevitable dental procedure, simply ask my opinion about the most recent football or baseball game and you will have yourself an extra 10 minutes of conversation!
I have been involved in the dental field for such a large part of my life that making people smile has become part of who I am. For as long as Dr. Frame has been doing dentistry I playfully remind him that I still have tenure over him in our office as I preceded him as an assistant to Dr. Weiner. As Office Manager now it really does fill me with pride to think of myself as a bridge between such amazing dentists.
In addition to dentistry I am a country girl at heart. I love to go to country music concerts or just sing along in my car! The biggest loves of my life are of course my wonderful children, Kailey and Josh, who fill my heart each day with joy and happiness.
April Martinez, R.D.A., Patient Scheduling Coordinator My journey into dentistry began when I was very young. Seeing my mom lose some of her teeth to gum disease affected me deeply as I wish I could have done something to prevent this. I therefore enrolled in dental assisting school when I was only 19. I took to dentistry so quickly that I soon found myself in a position to help other young students as an instructor.
Now as both an assistant to Dr. Frame and Patient Scheduling Coordinator I find myself in a position to make a profound difference in peoples lives. Seeing someone be able to save their teeth and maintain their smile as a result of my efforts really does make me proud. Aside from dentistry I have a musical side. For many years I played the flute and piccolo and was even encouraged to play professionally! I am also a Disney Princess. My son, Caesar, and my granddaughter, Amora, can definitely attest to my love for singing all the classic Disney songs!
I always loved going to the dentist. As I got older, I began to become interested in oral hygiene. I also grew up wanting a career in which I could help others. Thats when I knew I wanted to become a dental hygienist. I started going to school in 2009 for dental assisting and completed my associates degree and my hygiene program, all the while, working in the dental field.
I enjoy how my colleagues and I strive to make our patients feel comfortable and enjoy our friendly environment. I also enjoy working with Dr. Frame as his kindness and expertise in this field makes him knowledgeable and trustworthy. These are morals I like to believe in when I come into work every day.
On my days off I love to spend time with my family. I am married with two beautiful girls. As a family, we love to spend our days outside as we go swimming, play at the park, and go on day trips. Playing softball after work is a way in which I keep up with old friends. I also like to hike, and I love spending time cooking in the kitchen.
I have always enjoyed going to the dentist. My family and I have been patients at the same dental office for about 15 years. What has kept us loyal to them is that they make us feel as if we are family. It was my mission to find a profession that would allow me to create the same connection with my clients.
After graduating high school, I was still undecided about my profession of choice. My uncle suggested that I give dentistry a try. After looking into a local program, I immediately knew that this was the profession for me. I have always had a passion for helping people. Working in the dental field has allowed me to fulfill that passion and to pass on the family feel that my dentist had given to me when I was young.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my son. I love watching him grow and learn new things every day. I have described him as a puppy because of how playful and loving he is! I also enjoy spending time outdoors. I like to plan activities for me and my family on the weekends. We enjoy visiting local amusement parks, going out to the lake and hikes. Feel free to say hi if you happen to see me outside of work!

I've been a patient of Dr Frame's since the year of 2000. I'm attracted to the upscale office and friendly staff. My dental visits are always pleasant and relaxing. I love chatting with the nice staff who always wear a big smile on their face!

Beautiful office, friendly staff, and very reasonable pricing. What I love most about this office is that unlike other dentists offices, they don't act like sales people when prescribing your treatment. I personally hate being sold to, and love that I don't have to experience that with Dr. Frame and his team.

This is the most modern office I've ever been to and I live in a dentist chair! The experience incredible, almost making me want to go back! The staff and Dr. Frame are very warm and sensitive to your needs. I drive over an hour to come to this dentist. I tried another dentist closer to me but ended up going back to Dr. Frame. Highly recommend this office!!!

Dr. Frame is the best, he has all top of the line equipment at his office and the staff are so professional. I have been going to him for over 10 years and so have my dad, my brother, and my mom. I have moved out of the Bay Area but I still stop by to get my dental work done with Dr. Frame when I am in town.

I had went to many different dentist clinics and they kept referring me to other dentists, so I finally came across Dr. Frame. Him and his staffs were very kind and helpful, not only professional but extremely patient. I am so happy to find his practice and will highly recommend it!

My front tooth veneer split in half leaving my old tooth exposed with sharp and pointy edges that was so troublesome (to say the least) that I didn't think it will ever get fixed until after the pandemic. And who knows when that will be with every thing being closed under lockdown order. I was relieved when I got a call from Dr. Frame as one of urgent care and I'm now on my way to getting my tooth veneer replaced. To Dr. Frame and Julie, thanks so much for you service especially at these critical times.

My family has used Dr. Frame's services for nearly 20 years. The practice consistently has provided excellent services. Dr. Frame is an exceptional diagnostician, and his staff has been very loyal to the practice. The office is very modern and clean.
