After I got out of the United States Air Force, I came down with a toothache that forced me to go see a dentist for the first time in my life. I ended up needing a root canal therapy and a crown but little did I know this would actually be the greatest blessing in disguise because it would guide me to completely changing my path in life. I have now been practicing dentistry for over seven years and enjoying every second of the ups and downs because I am passionate about all of my patients and their oral health.
It didnt take too long in this field to realize that dentists dont have that many fans. On the contrary, most people despise going to the dentist because they are jaded by prior negative experiences. I decided then that I would do my best to change each and every one of my patients experiences by attentively listening to and understanding their wants and needs. Though the road has been rough, it has been worth it and I can proudly say I have many success stories and many more to come.
Love my dentist and all the staff! They always take care of my sons and my dental needs promptly and are always super kind. I've never felt so at home and welcomed at a dental office, like I feel at Vineyard Dental. They do an awesome job!
Very helpful, professional staff and they have good music playing in the background! Dr. is always kind and honest about what can be done. A longtime patient since Dr. Anderson was there and this practice is truly Five Star! See you again soon :-) - Stephanie H.
I have been a patient at Vineyard Dental for 7 years and this is the best dental practice I've ever had. Dr. Anderson was terrific and so is Dr.Saeidi now that he has taken over the practice. The entire staff is first rate as is the technology and skill of everyone there. I would give them 10 stars if I could. - Steven O.

After graduating from dental assisting school in 2005, I decided to continue on to dental hygiene school because of my interest and love for dentistry. I graduated from the dental hygiene program at SRJC in 2010 and have worked for Vineyard Dental Group ever since.
I have called Santa Rosa home for 13 years, but grew up in the small town of Willits on a 400+ acre farm. I come from a large family, including 6 brothers and sisters and now have 11 nieces and nephews. Much of my family still lives in Willits, so I love to go home to visit them and the farm animals!
