Welcome!!! If you are looking for a 'dental home' you don 't need to look any further. Our team and our office is truly a treasure. Nestled against the backdrop of the beautiful Claremont Hotel, with smells of freshly ground coffee beans wafting in from Peet 's coffee and fresh bread from the bakery, and the boisterous sounds of laughter, families and friends gathering in the courtyard below, it is truly a wonderful environment in which to work, and to serve you, our wonderful patients.

We are blessed and grateful for your continued support of our office. Your confidence in us and the generosity of your referral of our practice to family, to friends, and colleagues is the best compliment that we can receive.

A graduate from the University of California at Berkeley with a double major in Integrative Biology and Near Eastern Studies, emphasis in Persian Studies, she was driven towards a career in health, medicine, education, and service.

She graduated from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 2003 and after being an associate in two offices, purchased the wonderful practice of Dr. Barry Hunau in 2005. Having a strong work ethic and firm educational foundation, in addition to a vision of patient care, perfectionism, skill, and creating a true 'family dentistry' environment, she has created for many a place they can call a 'dental home.'
