I am in a unique profession where I can truly help people and change their lives in a positive way. I find immense satisfaction in helping my patients achieve their smile goals and love getting to know them on a personal basis.
Each year I complete numerous continuing dental education courseswell above the minimum required for licensure. These courses ensure I am able to provide the best possible care to my patients by staying uptodate on current procedures and advancements. I have completed a range of courses through the Dawson Academy, the Ross Nash Esthetic Continuum, the Seattle Study Club, and the Scottsdale Center for Computerized Dentistry.
I often have the opportunity to change a persons perception of dentistry. Its incredibly rewarding to work with someone whos fearful and uneducated about dentistry and help peoplebecome active and enthusiastic participants in their care.
I cherish the fact that my patients feel like members of my extended family. I genuinely care about each person who comes to me for treatment and appreciate the diverse needs and goals of my patients.
We like to smile and have as many laughs as possible in our office. We are truly a team, with a warmth, camaraderie, and respect for each other that translates into a caring environment for patients. Every member of the team is focused on giving each of our patients 100% of their attention, and making each visit a positive one.
I feel it is important to be active and give back to our community. I have helped provide dental services for many years for PARC, an organization that provides dental treatment for developmentally challenged children and adults. I have also fully endowed a scholarship in honor of my mother, which paysfull tuition at her alma mater, Mary Johnson College of Nursing, in Manila, the Philippines. I also volunteer on a regular basis at the St. Petersburg Free Clinic and other places that offer Dental Services to the less fortunate.
I was born in Manilla, the Philippines, and moved to the U.S. when I was a year old. Ive lived in Treasure Island for more than20 years and amblessed to be raising myfamily here. My wife, Michelle was born and raised in St. Petersburg. We have three children: Lauren, Jacqueline, and Marco.

New to the area so we were referred here by friends. Awfully frustrating when from the first phone call you're immediately met with an attitude and an unwillingness to help. Don't let this fool you - "My favorite part of the job is having the ability to help patients with their insurance and getting their claims paid.." If that's the initial first impression, we'll find another place, thank you.

From the time I checked in and threw to the end of my appointment it was great. It has taken me 4 years to fine a dentist that is caring and completes a full exam with acknowledgment and helping answer my questions. My hygienist was so kind and gentle threw my cleaning. Thank you for taking care of my teeth and thankful to found this dentist.
