My dental education began with an undergraduate degree in science from the University of California at Irvine. I then received my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Northwestern University at Chicago in 1996.On the way, I joined St. Joseph Hospital as part of their medical staff. This hospital provides free dental care to needy children from low-income families. You can’t believe the joy that I feel when I treat these patients. I also teach oral hygiene education in the Corona Norco Unified School District.

As for professional affiliations, I am a member of the American Dental Association, Tri-county Dental Society, and the Inland Empire Dental Implant Club. I am also pleased to be a part of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS), a highly visible group of dentists with a determined mission to create public awareness of oral conscious sedation, and its role in helping highly anxious patients achieve their optimal oral health. I believe the biggest challenge facing the dental profession today is to change the public mindset of how dentistry used to be.

When I am out of the office, I enjoy bowling and playing basketball. I am blessed to have a beautiful wife, and son. In my spare time, my family and I enjoy going to movies.
