I was born in Taiwan. I moved to the U.S. in 1988 and attended high school at the San Francisco Bay Area. I graduated from UC Berkeley and attended SFSU for graduate study then worked at UCSF doing research from 1999 to 2002. I attended Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine and graduated in 2006 with honors. I then worked at University of Medicine and Dentistry at New Jersey as an oral surgery intern from 2006 to 2007. I moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Phoenix, Arizona. I focus on general dentistry, implants, orthodontics, and full-mouth reconstruction/All-on-4 hybrid prosthesis. For fun, I like swimming, running, badminton, cycling and hiking, and I also love spending time with my family and two dogs, explore the wilderness and learn how to lose weight.
