My profession has allowed me to become more of a giver than I ever dreamt. It allows me to put a smile back on many people, to serve my community and mankind, and most importantly, to allow my kids the opportunity to become involved in the community and make a difference in other peoples lives.
My patients are the driving force that allows me to excel in my profession. Being able to provideexcellent dental care allows me to change another persons smile and life, but the trusting relationships and bonds that we form change my life as well. The friendships Ive created with my patients have made me a better person, and a better role model for my children.
A graduate of the University of Southern California School of Dentistry in Los Angeles, I now attend more than one hundred of hours of continuing education per year. It gives me a broad knowledge of new technology and techniques that will be beneficial to patients in terms of treatment planning, procedure time, recovery time, and overall practice efficiency. I have completed study in various disciplines, including dental implants, cosmetics, dental materials, pediatrics, root canal treatment with complications, ethics and law, practice management, and psychology.
I was born in Vietnam and immigrated to the United States when I was nine years old. I have been living in the San Gabriel Valley ever since. My wife Ivy and I have three young children Joshua, Oliver, and Abigail. Watching them grow up has been such a joy. When I have free time, I enjoy traveling, watching sports, and working out.
I am active in my community so I can teach my children the importance of donating time and effort to build a better place where we can all live together. I am passionate about making a difference in the community where I live and raise my kids. I am involved in the neighborhood watch, volunteer with the Kiwanis Club by providing free dental checkups, and participate in Dentistry From The Heart to provide free dental work for the community.
Providing the best orthodontic care to my patients allows me to build lifelong friendships, as well as smiles! My priority is to deliver exceptional, personalized service to my patients and their families. I want each child or adult we treat to enjoy the experience and receive the best possible results: a long-lasting, healthy smile of which he or she can be proud.
I began my formal dental education at the University of California School of Dentistry in Los Angeles, and graduated with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. In order to specialize in the field of orthodontics, I continued on to Saint Louis University for my Master of Science in orthodontics.
Continuing education is an important part of my commitment to my patients. I regularly participate in continuing education as a way to provide the most up-to-date treatment options and highest quality care.
Originally from San Francisco, I currently reside in Rancho Cucamonga with my wife, our newborn daughter, and our American Eskimo dog. I cherish the time spent with my family and friends, and also enjoy sports, exercise, and movies.
