Being a dentist offers me the unique opportunity to restore self-esteem and make important life changes through the highest quality dental care possible. I get to build relationships with so many wonderful and exciting people, and this enables me to provide them comfortable care in a way that fits their personalities. We learn so much from each other, and they keep every day new and challenging.

I attended San Jose State University for my undergraduate education, earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Biological Science. My dental education was received at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

I believe wholeheartedly in keeping abreast of trends in modern dentistry. The field is constantly changing and growing with new advances every day. I have participated in the Advanced Restorative Dentistry program through the Foundation for Advanced Continuing Education (F.A.C.E.) and am also currently involved in two study groups that allow me have access to the newest research so that I offer only the best care to my patients.

I am on the San Jose City College Dental Assisting Advisory Board and am an Associate Professor at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. My professional affiliations include the Santa Clara County Dental Society, the California Dental Association where I am on the Board of Managers for CDA Presents, and the American Dental Association where I am a Co-Chair for the 2012 Committee on Local Arrangements.

My German upbringing taught me the value of precision and perfection in everything I do, and I have handpicked a team of talented professionals who never settle for good enough. They are incredibly sincere and enjoy what they do, all while working together as a team. They greet every patient with a smile while keeping everyone laughing and me on my toes.

I was born in San Francisco and have lived in Los Gatos since 1967. My wife Catherine and I have two sons Max and Oliver, and a dog named Lazlo. When I am not in the office, I attend my sons sporting events, travel, and snow and water ski. I love tinkering with cars, and spend a lot of time in the garage. I enjoy cooking and barbecuing with family and friends at home in my garden. My community is important to me, so I strive to be an active part of it. I have built many important relationships with my neighbors and community members through my involvement in my church council at Faith Lutheran Church.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

Dr. Werner and his team warmly welcomed me to the practice in 2018, and I am excited to be here! I was born in Thailand and lived most of my life in the South Bay. I have a Cosmetology license but decided that my calling was to be in the health field. In 2009, I graduated from the Dental Hygiene Program at Carrington College in San Jose and also received additional training for LASER Certification. I love being a hygienist because I am able to provide gentle and compassionate healthcare services that I would want someone to give to me or my family. I value my patients and aim for them to have a knowledgeable and positive experience in our office.

Im married to my wonderful husband, Andrew, who is also a hygienist. We are proud parents of 2 young children, Maia and Evan, who keep us entertained with their latest dance moves. In my free time, I enjoy attending dental study groups, predicting outcomes on medical TV shows, date nights, and searching for that perfect espresso.

As a dental hygienist, I want what's best for my patients, and I work hard with them to keep their teeth as healthy as possible. I use my abilities and knowledge to help educate them on good home care as well. I am caring towards my patients needs and passionate about the quality of care I provide. All of us in the office are caring and loving toward each other, and together we strive to do our best for our patients.

I maintain and recommend both professional and home care treatment based on each patient's individual needs. It is very important to me that our patients are always comfortable and looking forward to their visits. As a part of a very successful team, I enjoy working with everyone in the office; we all have the same objectives in mind to provide the best patient care. We also have a great time together outside the office, whether for continuing education training or just for the enjoyment of having fun together.
