I graduated from University of California School of Dentistry in San Francisco, one of the most prestigious institutions in the world. In addition to having extensive experience working at Happy Bear Surgery Center in Tulare, and in pediatric and adult dental offices in Bakersfield, Fresno, Madera, Visalia, Modesto, Merced, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, I am also experienced in oral sedation, nitrous oxide administration, and Invisalign, as well as traditional braces.
I am passionate about my work and am committed to the highest standard of care. In the Era of Informational Revolution, as the world is transformed by technology, we are passionate about using the latest technologies to help our patients achieve their oral health goals. I continue to attend educational meetings to learn how to better provideorthodontic needs for our patients. Patients do not need to go to their orthodontic officeto take off their wires and return to our office for cleanings or fillings. I also have extensive training in implant placements and restoration to offer high-quality, more affordable implants for our patients.
Outside work, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my three young boys: Warren, Benjamin, and Charlie. My husband Eric and I also love to travel. Each year, we trot different regions of the globe and learn about different cultures. We enjoy checking out good restaurants and, when the weather is right, we love outdoor activities as well. Biking, hiking, snorkeling, and snowboarding are just a few of our favorites.
Despite my busy schedule, I am committed to volunteer work, both at home and abroad. I am involved with Give Kids a Smile and the UCSF free dental clinic, and have gone on mission trips to rural Cambodian villages.
When youre a patient of Sylvania Dental, you do not need to visit different offices to get premium care for your smile. We provide highly convenient services, including orthodontic care and implants, from our Clovis, Merced, Modesto, and Visalia dental offices.
I take pride in practicing with compassion and integrity. My number-one priority is to provide the highest quality of treatment in the most comfortable setting possible. My thoughtful attitude enables patients to remain at ease while receiving dental treatment. My knowledge base and caring personality are strengths that help me in addressing any questions that patients may have pertaining to their oral health and treatment plan. I believe it is important to explain oral health and its treatment to encourage patients to take an active role.
I recently became a father and enjoy spending time with my little girl. My other hobbies include traveling, photography, solving puzzles, sports, and spending time with friends and family. In the last few years, I have traveled to France, England, Italy, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Mexico. I am always eager to learn and engage in new things, places, and people.

Don't go here if you don't like having ten things shoved in your mouth or if you have chapped lips

My Family started going to Sylvania Dental when we moved to Modesto in 2012. The staff is great and very knowledgeable. The service is exceptional. Not only the bi- annual check ups and routine appointments but the after hour Emergency service is excellent which my family has needed in past.
