I have been practicing dentistry for about 20 years. The first year was as a resident with the UW Hospital Dentistry in Seattle, from 1999-2000. Since 2000, I have been a solo private practitioner in Everett.
Since completing the residency, I have actively sought out a range of continuing education opportunities, studying the latest developments while expanding and strengthening my knowledge and skill set.
I am particularly drawn to dental implants, which can be the best treatment option for a patient who has lost one or more teeth and would like to restore function and appearance. However, implants are also one of the most challenging and complex dental processes.
In order to provide the most stable and functional implant care, I have completed the Vancouver MaxiCourse Implant Training and studied through the Advanced Dental Implant Research and Education Center.
We enjoy a simple and healthy lifestyle, making the most of whats offered in our beautiful Pacific Northwest. When we have free time, we set out to explore the different corners of our state, live to hike local scenic trails on the weekends, and have a shared family goal of visiting every National Park.
When Im not working, I spend as much time outdoors as I can. You might find me riding my bike on the Centennial Trail or playing a round of golf on a local course. During the winter and early spring, I enjoy quiet time at home as I lose myself in a good book or watch a movie with my family.
Outside of dentistry, I am passionate about our environment. As a young child growing up in Taiwan, I witnessed and experienced how quickly our land and waters can be contaminated with industrial waste when my grandfathers small farmland became factories.
I look forward to coming to the office each day. Its wonderful to be part of a professional and fun team that offers great care to the most wonderful patients. Being here means interacting with all ages from all walks of life. I enjoy our conversations and love seeing peoples happy smiles!
I handle a range of customer service at the front desk, from welcoming and checking in patients to scheduling visits and updating paperwork. I also handle insurance and patient billing, collections, and always have time to ask how the patients day is going and how I might help them.
My husband Dan and I have been married for 35 years. We have three children, four wonderful grandchildren, a sweet dog named Tinkerbell, and we relocated to Washington in 2012 to be closer to family. I enjoy cooking, reading, home decorating, and traveling. Dan and I love visiting Kauai as often as possible and are always up for a Disneyland trip with family.
We are proud of our reputation as a practice that balances professional experience with personal care. We want only the best for you and your loved ones: full and healthy lives, success in all you undertake, and optimal dental health and a great smile that stands the test of time!
We are humbled by the number of our patients who recommend us to their families and friends: when a new patient joins us, and says they were sent by a friend who spoke of our gentle and respectful care, we cannot help but be pleased. This means we are providing the dental experience we strive to achieve and are resolved to deliver the same to you and your family, too!
