At the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) he earned a B.S. in Health Science and was a member of the Banana Slugs mens basketball team. After his graduation from UCSC, he was accepted into the prestigious University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry (UCSF) where he received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS). While at UCSF, he received multiple scholarships and awards for his academic success and held many leadership positions, including a national position with the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) which focused on the recruitment of minorities into dentistry. Dr. Patio chose to enrich his dental education by pursing his passion of orthodontics and applying to residency. He matched at his top choice and stayed at UCSF to complete his additional 3 yrs of specialty training in orthodontics. While in residency, he was the chief resident of his class and received the Colgate-Palmolive Company Dental Residency Scholarship from the Hispanic Dental Association (HDA). Upon completion of his residency training, he also completed his Masters degree in Oral and Craniofacial sciences.

I am a hard person to impress when it comes to dentist. Growing up with a wonderful dentist who my grandma worked for, I am very leary of all if them. With that being said, Dr. Bala is wonderful! My kids love him! He knows how to talk to them, he always knows just what to say to make them feel better. And he is a reliable, trust worthy doctor. I wish he worked on adults too.

My daughter is 6 and has been going here since she was 2. She absolutely loves the doc and staff. I'm so glad her experience has been good. She never has a problem going to the dentist and I'm happy about that. Speaks volumes.

This place is pretty neat and well maintained. The stuff are so nice and accommodating. Today, we came 10 minutes early for our appointment and they took us in right away. Also, we were only scheduled for cleaning but was told if we'd like to seal my daughter's molar teeth, they'll be able to do it for her on the same appointment. Thank you Amanda and Dr Bala, it save us time and gas for sure! Thank you Hercules Kids Dentistry! Definitely would recommend this place!!!

We've been coming to this Dentistry since my daughter was 3 shes 10 now. The staff there are very friendly especially Leslie and Alondra at the front, who always find ways through those loop holes! Dr. Bala and Dr. Bhular are very friendly and patient while handling my daughter. The facility is amazing and you really do feel your child is being attended in the best care ever! I would definitely recommend.

This place is great as soon as you walk in you feel the warmth of the staff and very professional and it's kids oriented. My daughter and son felt very comfortable as they got their teeth cleaned. They explain to you if any procedure that is needed. The place was nice and cleaned and loved the rooms. I would truly recommend Hercules Kids Dentistry

I brought my kids here for their new patient appointments and I am honestly thankful I did. My son is the oldest so he was brave to show his 5 year old sister there's nothing to be afraid of. She was completely terrified and even tried to run out of the treatment room. Although she was terrified I just want to Thank both of the AMAZING hygienist who calmed her down and included her in the process where she was so comfortable and at ease a few minutes later, special Thank you so much to the Dr. These Women are absolutely amazing and dealing with young children's no walk in the park and coming from a franchise dental office I am THANKFUL I made the switch.
