My profession has allowed me the opportunity to touch many lives over the last 25 years. Its hard to believe its been that long, but I enjoy dentistry now more than I ever have. I am truly blessed and consider myself so fortunate to enjoy the many relationships created through my practice.
I chose dentistry because I love people and saw it as an opportunity to help and to be connected to so many. There is a joy in dentistry and in working with my hands, but more than that, I look forward to meeting new friends and seeing longtime friends every day I come to the office.
As the son of a dentist, I saw first hand what a difference he made in his patients' lives. My dad practiced dentistry in Castro Valley from 1963 until 2006, when he retired. He and I had the pleasure of working together for 21 years. I hope to continue the tradition we have established of providing high-quality dental care for many more years to come.
The art and science of dentistry is contained within a delightfully diverse, elegant, and constantly changing body of knowledge. It is my great pleasure to be part of a profession that continually provides new opportunities for learning. I have attended many continuing education meetings and seminars at the world-renowned Pride Institute, the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies, the International Association of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, and the William C. Strupp Institute of Postgraduate Dental Studies.
I grew up in Castro Valley, CA, and have lived here most of my life. I have three children: Noah, Leah, and Isaiah. Buddy, our dog, is like my fourth child. When Im not at the office, I can usually be found at my childrens football, baseball, basketball, and soccer games and swim meets. We enjoy gardening, boating and water sports, scuba diving, motorcycling, flying, and skiing as well. I love being a father, having a family, seeing the children grow up, and being part of the wonderful Castro Valley community.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
I am very happy to be a part of Dr. Teds team, providing great oral healthcare to our patients. With over ten years of experience in this office, Ive seen many of our patients improve their smiles because of the wonderful care theyve received from Dr. Ted and the rest of our team. Its very satisfying to know that weve made such a positive difference in the lives of so many people. I am married with two children, and when Im not with my family, I enjoy working out.
I have been working with Dr. Ted since high school. As one of our dental hygienists, I work with patients to make sure their smiles stay healthy and bright, which includes providing preventive care and education. I love being a positive, motivating force to encourage my patients to get healthy! The last 15 years of working with Dr. Ted have enriched my life in such a positive way, and I look forward to the future. When Im at home, I love spending time with my two children and our dog. We love being outdoors, especially if were BBQing!
Ive spent my entire dental career here with Dr. Ted, and I cant believe that the past 30 years have gone by so quickly! I guess time really does fly when youre having fun! I work one-on-one with each patient to clean their teeth and keep them health for a lifetime of happy smiles. Dr. Ted is the most amazing and caring doctor, and I cant imagine wanting to work for anyone else. I love being at work with our wonderful team. Im so proud of my two girls in college and can't wait to get them off my payroll! That will allow me more time to pursue my favorite hobby of traveling.
I work with Dr. Ted and the rest of our team during patient procedures. My number one concern is that each patient is comfortable and relaxed while in our office. I work with so many unique people, and getting to know a little bit more about them after each visit is a lot of fun. I'm truly proud to be part of the high-quality care our team provides to our patients. When I'm not at work I enjoy my time with my friends and family, including my wonderful four-year-old son. I hope to travel Spain and Portugal some day.
It is my goal to ensure a smooth flow in the office each day, including the oversight of scheduling, patient accounts, insurance, and treatment coordination. Im also one of the first team members to welcome our patients, both in person and over the phone. My career in dentistry began over 20 years ago, and I had the pleasure of joining Dr. Ted in 2004. Since then, Ive really enjoyed helping our patients achieve ideal oral health alongside our amazing team. When Im not at work, I love spending time with my friends and family. Some of my favorite activities include camping, bowling, being outdoors, and reading a great book.
