My profession is my joy and a unique opportunity to do what I love. Growing up in my mothers dental office, I quickly developed a fascination with teeth. In school, I became enamored with creating smiles without drilling, which sparked my interest in orthodontics, a way to point teeth in the right direction.
After receiving my dental degree from the University of the Pacific, I headed to the University of Colorado for my orthodontic training. Colorado was a nice change of pace, but after a quick 27-month residency, I decided the warm weather of California was calling me home. Im an avid attendee of continuing education courses. Learning doesnt stop at residency, and if anything, Im discovering more now than I did in school. I embrace technology and innovative techniques, and I enjoy implementing new things in our practice.
At West Orthodontics, we strive to always deliver the very best. This shines in our custom treatment plans, advanced technology, and friendly yet professional demeanor. Our ultimate goal is for every patient to walk away from their time in active treatment with a healthy, beautiful smile on their face.
