Daniel Mabaet is a Bay Area native from Vallejo, California. He has over a decade of dental experience serving in the Solano, Santa Clara, Alameda, Napa and Contra Costa counties. His passion for architecture, science, and community service solidified his desire to become a dentist, while his experiences volunteering for multiple free clinics and dental mission trips abroad have shaped him into the compassionate dentist he is today.
His dental journey started when he was a sophomore in high school, working on Saturdays and on holidays as a dental assistant. He continued this job part-time while being a full-time student at Dominican University of California. Graduating magna cum laude, he matriculated into dental school at Oregon Health & Science University right after where he honed his skills as a dentist. After graduating, Dr. Daniel returned home and worked at several offices in the bay area learning from great mentors. Prior to the pandemic, Dr. Daniel was volunteering at the Berkeley Free Clinic twice a month, where he provided dental care for those less fortunate. Dr. Daniel participates in study clubs and believes that learning doesnt end after graduating.
Dr. Daniels interests in design and architecture made this restoration project a challenging but rewarding experience. Built in the 60s, the office space was cluttered with unnecessary storage space which obstructed the natural lighting of the office. Wanting to create a more airy workplace and to capitalize on the midcentury modern charm to the office, Dr. Daniel decluttered the practice and furnished it with pieces that complemented this theme. His goal is to provide an environment that his patients and team felt safe and comfortable in.
