Dr. Amanda Echeverria always knew she wanted to be in the medical field. Coming from a family of dentists, she knew she could help people achieve a higher state of health through dentistry, so she began her dental education at the University of Costa Rica.

She earned her Master of Science degree from the University of Houston in 2003.
Seeing her father change lives as a periodontist and her mother help disabled children achieve good oral health, Dr. Echeverria developed a sense of compassion and commitment to her calling as a dentist. Helping you achieve your best oral health is her priority. Through understanding communication and a dedication to your unique needs, Dr. Echeverria works hard to help you achieve all you desire for a healthy smile.

Married to her business partner and fellow periodontist, Dr. Paluk, Dr. Echeverria has two children, so she understands how hectic and busy life with children can get. When she has free time, Dr. Echeverria enjoys spending time with her family, dining out, and staying active outdoors.
Growing up in Mendoza, Argentina, Dr. Sergio F. Paluk saw the importance of having a straight smile to support your goal of achieving optimal oral health. His father was an orthodontist and after completing his dental education at Dental School of Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in 1992, Dr. Paluk joined his fathers practice. In 1997, Dr. Paluk moved to San Diego to pursue English as a Second Language. Knowing how important it is to have healthy gums to support your beautiful teeth, Dr. Paluk earned his Master of Science degree at the university and has been a practicing periodontist since 2003. He is both a member and a diplomate of the International Dental Implant Association.
