Being a native of Northern California, it is a real joy to serve the patients of our community. I have a strong desire to improve the lives of those around me, and the skills to follow through. Who can ask for more than that? With a combination of personal care for my patients, treatments utilizing the most advanced technology, and a strong continuing orthodontic education, I maintain a commitment to providing the highest quality treatments available.
I was born and raised in Corning, California, and earned my Bachelors of Science in Physiology at the University of California, Davis. I then attended the University of California, San Francisco, where I graduated with my DDS. Afterwards, I received my Certificate and Masters of Science in Dentistry degree from the Saint Louis University Center for Advanced Dental Education.
In order to provide superior service and comprehensive results, I am committed to staying at the forefront of orthodontic science by attending numerous continuing education courses. I also stay current with the latest orthodontic research and techniques to straighten teeth as quickly and effectively as possible. My continuing education includes multiple online courses, weekend seminars, and as a member of orthodontic organizations and societies. I am always on the lookout for new ways to improve the comfort and efficiency of my patients orthodontic experience.
I am fortunate to have found orthodontics as a profession, as it has become extremely rewarding for my patients and for myself. I believe a good orthodontist must possess several attributes: communicating well with patients, understanding of teeth movement and spacing, and commitment to perfection. My dedication to improving facial aesthetics and promoting overall long-term oral health has become my foundation for a great practice.
I tailor each treatment plan to achieve my patients desired results. I take pride in each treatment, and use only the highest quality appliances and the latest technology to produce perfect smiles and happy patients!
When Im not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my fiance, Jessica. We enjoy physical fitness and visits to cultural and science museums. I am also a bit of a gear-head with a strong motivation towards rebuilding and restoring automobiles and motorcycles. I appreciate the challenge, imagine the end result, and plan each precise step. I also travel frequently to my fathers olive ranch to assist in the family business. Much of my time there involves a heavy emphasis on automotive and equipment repairs, including welding and rebuilding engines.
I believe that businesses should have a positive impact on the communities they serve. In our practice, we dedicate ourselves to earning the trust and respect of our patients, schools, service organizations, youth programs and our neighbors. I am committed to helping create a thriving community. Yuba City Orthodontics embraces the responsibility to be good neighbors in this community!
