Michael grew up in southern California. From a young age, he was encouraged by his father that he 'would make a great dentist,' and he has! He completed his DDS degree in 1988 from USC in Los Angeles and moved to Redding with wife Julie to begin a life in rural northern California. Four sons, 2 daughter in laws, one granddaughter, one grandson and 30+ years later, Mike and Julie happily call Redding their home for life!
Most of the staff have been with Dr. Mike for many years. His patients are like family. He treasures watching them grow, caring for their dental health into the next generation. Dr. Mike was honored to have his oldest son Jonathon (Dr. Jon) join the practice in 2019. Together working side by side, their joy is to serve the community they both love so dearly . Son David and wife Sarah returned to Redding after completing college degrees. David is an Edward Jones Advisor and Sarah teaches 3rd grade at Redding Christian School. Son Adam is in dental school at OHSU in Portland, hoping to join the family practice one day. Son Philip attends Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. Wife Julie helps run the office from home, juggling their home, church and professional lives. Truly it is a family owned and operated dental practice!
Dr. Mike, Dr. Jon and staff are proud to offer the full range of high-quality, restorative dental services from simple fillings to full mouth reconstruction. We treat patients of all ages, beginning from the cleaning and exam of their very first teeth, with application of sealants, to all stages of life, including crowns, implants and dentures as needed.
