I still remember the day in 1993 that I began practicing in Northgate. The area seemed almost quaint, and many of you know how much its changed since. What has not changed is the joy and privilege of meeting and getting to know our patients. Orthodontics has such a positive impact on everyones lives. For patients, the beautiful smiles they are able to achieve contribute greatly to life-long benefits, such as improved health and self-confidence. For me, I get to work with an extremely talented team who are just as happy as I am to be a part of your treatment. In addition, I have the honor of working with the best dentists and specialists in the area, not to mention the best patients!
Education I attended La Sierra University in Riverside, California, for undergraduate studies, majoring in Chemistry. I was accepted to Loma Linda University School of Dentistry at the ripe age of 19, the youngest in my class. Following dental school, I became a clinical instructor in both the Departments of Pediatric Dentistry and Restorative Dentistry. In addition, I practiced full time as a general dentist.
Orthodontics, however, began to intrigue me during this time, as I began to see the positive effects healthy and beautiful smiles had on patients. I was accepted into the graduate orthodontic program at Loma Linda University, completing this formal education with highest honors in 1991. I was then invited to work with orthodontic faculty members for another 2 years, learning so much more from these clinicians while waiting for my wife to graduate and for the opportunity to relocate to the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Personal and Family Life When asked, I usually say that I grew up in Singapore, but Im from Seattle! My family moved from Singapore to Loma Linda when I was 15, but its here in Seattle that Ive spent the most years, and where Ive established both professional and family lives. My wife and I have two lovely daughters, and many have heard us refer to our third child, a very sweet West Highland Terrier. We love it here, and couldnt imagine calling any other place home.
When not immersed in orthodontics, I enjoy traveling, photography, reading, and scrabble (yes, scrabble)! I love sports, especially volleyball, tennis, and soccer. The most memorable and enjoyable parts of my sporting life, without question, have come from coaching middle school volleyball and soccer. Watching these young athletes compete and succeed really is fantastic.
Every member of our wonderful team has years of experience in treating patients with the highest level of care, and strives to provide energetic and fun-loving service to each patient. Together, our motivation is to make our patients feel right at home, and put your needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment. We look forward to seeing you, or meeting you for the first time!
